Colchicums: Autumn’s Best-Kept Secret

I’ll be speaking at the Hamilton College Arboretum on January 21, 2017 on Colchicums: Autumn’s Best-Kept Secret, starting at 10am. Longtime readers of this blog know what colchicums are. The rest of you are thinking Colchi-what? If you’ve never heard of colchicums before, you’ll be running to your catalogs to order some after hearing my talk. These under-used hardy bulbs bring bright color to the fall garden. I’ll tell you all you need to know to grow them successfully, including the best varieties for various garden situations and ideal plants to partner with them. I’ll even let you know my sources for the rarest and scarcest. If you don’t yet grow colchicums, it’s time you were in on the secret!

Details on this and all my other speaking engagements can be found here. I’d love it if you stopped by and said hi after any of my talks.

When dealing with frost it is always best to be paranoid. In the spring never think it is too late for one more frost to come. And in the fall never think it too early.
