Colchicum ‘Antares’

The earliest of the fall blooming Colchicum, sometimes emerging in the last weeks of August. Very pale lilac cup-shaped flowers soon flatten out and resemble clusters of stars on the ground. That pale lilac color first seen on the outside of the petals is now only present on the tip edges of the mostly white interior. Rarely seen in catalogs. The corms this clone produces are smaller than those of most of the other Colchicums we offer, although every year we seem to be growing them bigger and bigger. We enjoy its distinctive coloration and its delightful floral scent more every year too.
