How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
If you've never planted them before, you'll find the regular 'fall-flowering crocus', including C. sativus,, the saffron crocus, much like spring bloomers (about 4-5 inches tall). Colchicums are different, since every bulb (they're larger than the regular crocus bulbs) produces a whole bouquet of flowers. One Colchicum bulb will send up between 5 and 10 stems, and each one will soon bear a flower.
So plant either or both, and enjoy some brilliant spring color in your garden when you need it the most--in fall!'
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"The huge bulb produced multiple flowers shortly after planting."
"These all bloomed fast and were very impressive"
"Truly beautiful"
"The first weekend of September I planted 3 of these in a border. They bloomed within days. They are taller and larger than other crocus and can flop over a bit. I also want to point out that they are purple and not pink like in the description. But they added some nice color to the fall garden and the bees liked them."
"These are absolutely beautiful blooms to have in fall. Not cheep though, and The journey to obtaining them had a couple bumps. My order contained really large bulbs. Unfortunately, two of them were with bad rots from roots to tops. So I sent photos and request for the replacement. I can compliment the customer support service for handling the issue but not the quality of the product. What I received as a replacement for two top size bulbs was one bulb of barely half a size of original ones. Not fair. . ."
"These are beautiful fast growers! Voles messed with them a bit but they managed to bloom beautifully! I sprinkled hot pepper flakes to deter the voles. :-)"
"My thirty year old daughter just bought her first house. I bought the bulbs so she would have Fall flower. I also planted a few for myself."
"Flowers were beautiful. I only gave 3 stars because one out of two survived and grew. I raised these at another property and had no problem. I was disappointed that only one grew and bloomed. I still will recommend because they are quite showy and beautiful. Great addition to your flowerbed in the Fall."
"Moved to TN about two years ago, badly missed the fall crocuses we had. . . New garden. Two of these plants will satisfy me for now. ;-)"
"I hope they come back next year 2021"
