Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination

1. Cold Stratification: Store seeds in damp sand in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before planting.
2. Sowing: Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil, either in containers or directly in the garden.
3. Germination: Can take 6-12 months, as colchicum seeds develop slowly.

Transplanting & Growth

• Space plants 6-8 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded area.
• Leaves appear in spring, die back in summer, and flowers emerge in fall.

Maintenance & Care

• Watering: Water regularly during active growth, reducing in summer dormancy.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
• Pruning: Remove spent foliage after it withers in summer.
• Winter Care: Mulch lightly in colder regions to protect roots.
