Autumn Crocus - Colchicum giganteum is a splendid bulb, native to Europe. Its unique life cycle and late blooming period make it a captivating addition to domestic gardens. In spring, lanceolate leaves emerge, lasting until June before the plant enters dormancy. Come mid-August, the Autumn Crocus unveils its striking light purple blooms with white centres, complemented by broad petals and golden stamens.

For optimal growth, select locations that are either well-lit or partially shaded and shielded from strong winds. The soil should be fertile and well-drained, rich in calcium and capable of retaining moisture. On heavier soils, proper drainage is essential. Plant the bulbs in autumn at a depth of 15-20 cm and cover with a layer of sawdust or peat. Maintenance involves regular fertilisation, weed control, and watering during dry spells.

Caution! All parts of the Autumn Crocus are toxic to both humans and animals.
