Description

Colchicum- Byzantinum

Colchicum x byzantinum

Synonyms: Colchicum autumnale

NOT TO TAS, WA

  • Soft lilac flowers
  • Autumn flowering
  • Multiple flowers per corm

An herbaceaous perennial with funnel shaped flowers about 15cm tall in autumn. The soft lilac flowers are held on white stems, with each corm producing up to 20 flowers. Clumps of 30cm tall, broad, dark green leaves emerge in late winter and early spring, dying down in summer. 

Colchicum, often called 'Autumn Crocus', have funnel-shaped flowers that resemble true crocus. Flowers bloom in autumn, die down over winter, then the leaves emerge in spring before dying down over summer. Each corm will produce multiple flowers. Corms are best left to naturalise in the ground. Also known as 'Naked Ladies' and 'Meadow Saffron'.

Note: all parts of the corm, flowers and plants are toxic to cats, dogs and humans; handle with care.
