So it's spring and we are considering what to plant in the garden, well why not look to Autumn, it is a great time to plant bulbs for a late display.
Colchicum are often referred to as the Autumn Crocus and indeed many species do flower at this time of the year.
Now although Colchicum Speciosum 'album' is well know, as is Colchicum autumnale it is well worth looking a little further afield. Colchicum byzantinum has been grown for many years and in fact may well be one of the oldest hybrids in cultivation.
Very showy flowers and easy care.... You can read more about Colchicum Bulbs on the web site.
Now Colchicum are not really a crocus, and in fact some true crocuses do flower in autumn, but thats another story.
