114 inches across and flowering in long succession.

Colchicum Autumnale 


[14] 
COLCHICUM - Meadow Saffron 
(Giant Autumn-Flowering Crocus) 
Colchicum are autumn-flowering bulbs with large Crocus-like blossoms 
which appear during the months of September and October, without foliage. 
The foliage, however, appears early in the spring about the same time the 
Tulips and Hyacinths are in bloom and disappears in June. They are espe- 
cially recommended for planting between the taller growing rock plants 
such as Cerastium, Vinca, Pachysandra, and the various Sedums, where 
their bold, checkered Crocus-like blossoms are seen to the best advantage. 
Blooming in September and October when flowers in the rockery are scarce, 
they are especially valuable. They may also be planted in the open woods 
or in naturalistic plantings of any sort. The bulbs, if kept indoors, will 
bloom during September and October in the window without any earth or 
water and-after blooming, the bulbs may be planted in early November 
outdoors, and will not suffer in the least. ‘
