The 'Dick Trotter' autumn crocus (Colchicum) will bring plenty of joy to all gardeners who have trouble saying goodbye to garden flowers. The variety offered here in our store bears flowers in autumn and introduces charming warm pink tones to the borders. The 'Dick Trotter' autumn crocus grows 15 to 2 centimetres tall and its bowl-shaped enchanting flowers are huge in comparison with other representatives of this species. The petals are white at the bases, what gives the flowers exceptional depth. Meadow saffron, as this plant is also called, strike with their unusual look, as they are completely leafless during the flowering period. Only the pink blooms stick out from the grass in large groups. Tufts of grass-like, juicy green leaves emerge only in spring.

Autumn crocus bulbs should be planted on flower beds, borders, around deciduous trees and all other sites where you wish to grow a flowery carpet. This plant can be successfully naturalized in rock gardens and the seldom cut lawns. The 'Dick Trotter' autumn crocus does not have any special soil requirements. It should thrive in every permeable soil. This multi-purpose, long lived bulb perennial fits into all garden styles and types.
