Compact autumn crocus with rich purple-pink flowers. Great for rockeries, gravel gardens, and low-growing meadow schemes. Robust and hardy. Ideal for naturalising in meadows, lawns, and under trees.
Colchicum cilicicum is a robust, compact species with vivid purple-pink crocus-like flowers that bloom in autumn before the foliage emerges. Native to Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean, it’s perfectly suited to gravel gardens, alpine borders, and tight planting pockets where more vigorous Colchicums may not fit.
Its rich colouring, tidy form, and reliable flowering make it an ideal choice for smaller-scale landscape work or urban perennial schemes. It thrives in free-draining soils and tolerates hot, dry summers if left undisturbed. Ideal for rockeries, informal grass plantings, and areas with Mediterranean planting influence.
