Description
A rare species from Turkey and Jordan which makes its flowers with its leaves in the winter and very early spring. The leaves are short and triangular and set off the wide-petalled, virtually white flowers, perfectly. Yellow anthers and pollen complete a lovely plant.
A native of wet meadows and riverside in the wild, but perfectly at home – and hardy – under standard garden conditions for small Colchicum species!
Horticultural stock raised from what was probably a collection made by the late Ole Sonderhousen in 1987.
