Planting Autumn Crocus (Colchicum)
I don't believe I have ever grown autumn crocus ( colchicum - I love to say that word) - although we did inherit one when we moved into this house. I moved it, and apparently it did not like that because I never saw it again. I have always wanted to grow it, but I always think about it at the wrong time of year. Plus, I never see it at nurseries (not even at Yard N' Garden Land). When a friend offered me some, I said YES. She gave me one special one called "Waterlily" and several that I guess we would call the "average one". 'Waterlily' The question then was where on earth would I would plant them. I read that they are nice in grassy areas so I then decided to plant them along the grassy pathway in front. (This pathway is about to become a gravel pathway as I am refusing to water it daily. Michael wins this battle and gets to do the "told you so" dance .) I decided to tuck the primo one at the corner of the path next to this pot. Diggin...
I'm gonna try to get over to visit... I would love to see your garden again!
ReplyDeleteIt's a hot mess but hope you can make it!
DeleteI doubt that very much (hot mess)... however since I severely sprained my ankle today shimmying down to the Salmon River off a trail and can barely walk, I'm afraid I am not going to make it.
DeleteOh no, I hope it heals soon. You can come anytime. I want to try and see yours too.
DeleteWish I could attend. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn’t 3000 miles away, I would be there. Always love your posts. Lucky visitors😊
