Russell Stafford of Odyssey Bulbs describes this as “a superior selection whose rich violet flowers are among the deepest in hue of any colchicum’s. . . . It is of robust constitution.” Well, it does seem robust, but not any deeper in color than say, ‘Zephyr.’ It seems like color is such a moving target. Two different people can describe the same flower with two different colors. It makes it very difficult to feel confident that I have a correctly labelled plant. Stafford doesn’t mention a purple perianth tube, but this has one, did you notice?

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.
