  • Colchicum Autumnale Alba is a beautiful and slightly unusual bulb that brings fresh white flowers to the garden when many other plants are beginning to fade. The elegant goblet-shaped blooms appear in autumn, rising from bare ground to create a simple but eye-catching display that brightens borders, rockeries and naturalised areas.

  • These graceful flowers have a clean, timeless look that works beautifully in both traditional and modern gardens. Once established, they return year after year and gradually form larger clumps, giving you an even better display each season with very little effort.

  • Easy to grow and wonderfully low maintenance, they’re a great choice if you want to extend the flowering season and add something a little different to the garden. Their pure white blooms bring a fresh touch of colour just when it’s needed most.

    Watering Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. During active growth, water in prolonged dry spells so the soil stays lightly moist but never waterlogged. Once the foliage naturally dies back, reduce watering and allow the bulbs to rest more dryly.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in fertile, well-drained loam in sun or partial shade. Choose a position that does not stay waterlogged in winter, as good drainage helps bulbs return reliably. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.

    Top tip

    Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
