I've had this in my garden for more than a decade. Not as quick to make offsets as some colchicums but over time does make a few. Planted towards the bottom of a less than full sun slope with rather clay-ey soil. Charming little harbinger of Spring. Earlier names were Colchicum bulbocodium and Colchicum vernum Does not this mean it was first included in colchicum, then split off, and is now coming "home" again. Anyone who has looked at its little underground bulbs can clearly see a similarity to those of colchicum. Is there anything else that looks even somewhat the same?
