    Colchicum 'Antares' plant details

    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Cormous perennial that sends up strappy foliage in spring that is dormant by summer with naked blooms in late August, scented 4-6” tall flower stems with softly glowing pale pink-lilac cup-shaped blooms with white interiors, flattening out to pretty white stars as they age. Thrives in sun in well-drained soil, appreciates moisture during growth and bloom periods, fine with dry during summer dormancy. Deer/critter resistant. All parts are toxic.
