Colchicum Bornmuelleri
C2014
Late-season magic blooms in soft violet, spreading fragrant, chalice-shaped flowers across the autumn garden.
No leaves interrupt the show - just blooms appearing as if conjured from the soil. Colchicum Bornmuelleri create an enchanting sight in fading light, when most plants sleep, and this one begins to shine.
Care Guide
No leaves are present when the wine-glass shaped flowers appear, and the long tubes at the base of the petals extend down into the earth.
Plant 7.5cm (3”) deep in well-drained, humus-rich soil, 10-15cm (4-6”) apart. Likes a sunny or lightly shaded position.
