THE GIANT

  • Fall flowering
  • 1 Pack
  • Great for naturalizing
  • Zone 5

One of the tallest (at least 8โ€ in height) and most free-flowering of the colchicums, โ€œThe Giantโ€ is a fall-blooming variety which bears up to 10 extra large, funnel-shaped, lavender-pink flowers with a delicate white throat. Resembling crocuses, โ€œThe Giantโ€ produces its large, broad green leaves first in the spring before the arrival of its spectacular blooms during the fall (Sept-Oct). A great choice if you want to extend the flowering season of your garden! Looks great in walkways, woodlands, meadows, or among low-growing perennials. Plant the bulbs in well-draining soil, under full sun or partial shade, at a depth of 4โ€, while also leaving 4โ€ of space between each bulb. The toxic properties of this perennial make it deer resistant, however, be cautioned that all parts of Colchicum โ€œAlbumโ€ are highly toxic to humans and pets. Wear gloves and wash your hands after handling.

    Colchicum - The Giant (Fall Flowering)

    "I saw this flowering in a neighbour's garden and just had to order it. I had checked numerous garden centres and no one carried them. I was glad to find your company online. We have had a mild fall and I planted it and it has bloomed already. Am looking forward to having it bloom again next fall."
