  1. COLCHICUM AUTUMNALE

    Delicate purple flowers with white 'stems' which are the lower part of the flower, arise in compact clumps without any leaves, in the autumn, and can soon naturalise on a rock garden or even in grass. Contrary to its common name, and this is the actual "Autumn Crocus" usually referred to, this beautiful autumn-flowering bulb is not in the slightest related to true crocuses, but is botanically closer to lilies. ...

  2. COLCHICUM AUTUMNALE 'LILAC WONDER'

    This variety which blooms in September and October is one of the most popular as they flower when least expected, the large, lilac-pink goblets suddenly appearing just as the season draws to an end, whereas the large, floppy, upright basal leaves appear on their own the following spring. ...

  3. COLCHICUM BORNMUELLERI

    A distinguished variety with large rosy purple, fragrant flowers, each with a white heart and orange anthers, these plants are often misnamed "Autumn Crocus" because of their autumn blooming, when they produce large cup-shaped flowers on naked stems, and much later, foliage which resembles hosta leaves, appearing in the spring. They do best in rich, well-drained soil and partial shade. ... Learn More

  6. COLCHICUM DIAMPOLIS

    A very rare plant from Bulgaria with large, flared, pure white autumn flowers. They are easy to grow in good, deep, moisture-retentive soil, when they bloom after their summer dormancy, denuded of leaves, hence their common name 'Naked Ladies' The bright flowers last incredibly well, even though they appear very fragile, the leaves only appearing in winter to early spring, when they last until midsummer. ...

    Late-blooming, from September to November, this popular flower opens large, very long-stemmed, lilac-pink goblets, suddenly appearing just as the season draws to an end.

  10. COLCHICUM NEAPOLITANUM

    Clusters of small, delightful, unusually patterned and deeply-textured pink autumn flowers are produced by this Southern French form.

  11. COLCHICUM SPECIOSUM

    Native to mountainous areas of northern Turkey and other parts of the Caucasus region, this large plant blooms in autumn producing reddish-violet flowers on stems up to twelve inches tall. As with most other varieties, the leaves appear in the spring, before yellowing, withering and dying back as summer progresses. Stronger stemmed, and later than C.autumnale, with taller more richly coloured flowers, it is probably the best of the larger forms, naturalising easily. ... Learn More

  12. COLCHICUM SPECIOSUM BORNMUELLERI

Mature flowers, which appear in late autumn, long before the leaves, are pale rosy-lilac with white throat. This form from Northern Turkey has narrower leaves and purplish anthers, and although it was once considered a species, it is now included in Colchicum speciosum. ... Learn More
