Giant colchicum has substantial, vase-shaped flowers that never fail to amaze. So eager are they to bloom, colchicums will flower straight from the bulb, without being planted in soil (in fact, if you don’t plant them right away, they may bloom on your potting bench.) The corms produce flowers only weeks after being planted in the fall, rising from the ground without foliage. The flowers are a delicate violet with a white base. Since ants relish the seed coating of colchicum (and puschkinia), they help spread intact embryos which naturalize areas of your yard and garden with fall blooms. — edited by dtd pbcouchman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
