Autumn flowering, best planted in a fertile, well-drained soil in good light. Colchicum are mostly grown for their unexpected autumn blooms, appearing as if by magic before the leaves. Taller types, reaching around 20cm tall, are ideal for naturalising in grass or under trees, while smaller ones are perfect for rock gardens.
