Plant of the Day
Saturday 5 October 2024
In my friend‘s old cottage garden on Orkney this cultivar, probably of Colchicum autumnale 'Pleniflorum' (meadow saffron, autumn crocus, fog crocus, meadow crocus, Michaelmas crocus, upstart), has been here for decades in a sheltered border. This cormous herbaceous perennial flowers in the autumn and will produce large leaves in the spring.
