The first flowers to show color in my bulb bed is as always the white Colchicum szovitsii. Today it looked like this.

Next time I have spares Tony I'll try and remember you.
Kenneth you Colchicum szovitsii are well ahead of mine. I must go and put out some slug pellets because they ate mine last year.

Kenneth, nice
Colchicum szovitsii
. Could you please tell me how you grow them. I got one last year but I'm not sure if it was put into the right conditions.

It is planted in a well drained, raised bed in full sun. In the bottom of the bed is a layer of gravel, over it a layer of rich compost and at the top 5- 10 cm of pure sand. The bulb is planted in sand so that the roots can reach down into the compost.

Kenneth,
Your growing way seems very nice. Do you apply this for all bulbs or only for colchicum? or only for C. szovitsii?

I use that way to grow most of the summer resting bulbs. It is a must in our rainy climate. (But it does not always help anyway)

I can't find the old Colchicum thread so I am opening a new one.
The first spring colchicum here.
Colchicum hungaricum albiflorum.
