Colchicum Neapolitanum
In stock
Description
Clusters of small, delightful, unusually patterned and deeply-textured pink autumn flowers are produced by this Southern French form. It is larger than dwarf species but much smaller than some others such as C. autumnale, and this beauty grows, flowers and increases well outside with tidy foliage.
Sowing Advice
Sow seeds at any time, covering them very thinly with compost or grit, keeping the seed pot in a cool, well-lit spot outdoors. Artificial heat is not needed and can prevent germination so be very patient as many species will only germinate in the spring after chilling or freezing in the moist seed pot in the winter. Grow on individual seedlings in small pots until of sufficient size to be potted on or planted out into the open ground.
