Colchicum autumnale 'Alboplenum'.

Autumn crocus varieties have come on a lot from the days when anaemic shoots toppled over in a mess in the border and my wife complained they made her feel queasy. In fact they are not crocus but from the lily family. Colchicum autumnale 'Alboplenum' is a stunner with huge double white, rather scruffy blooms appearing at a time when other plants are receding.
