Colchicum Autumnale Alboplenum Alba
Delivery: End Aug to Feb
Colchicum Autumnale Alboplenum Alba is a beautiful and rare autumn flowering crocus. Sparkling white double flowers will bring a splash of colour to the late autumn border just when all other colour is fading. The bare stems are followed by the fresh green leaves which last into spring.
Colchicum are also known as bare naked ladies due to the fact the leaves appear after flowering. Perfect for the woodland garden where they happily naturalise and container planting
