Two honest cautions: this plant contains colchicine and is severely toxic to people and pets, so every part of it, corm included, must be kept well out of reach; and it requires a hot dry summer dormancy that Alabama simply does not provide, so corms frequently rot in our warm wet soil. We recommend it as a trial only, sited on a raised, fast-draining bank or in a container that can be kept dry through summer. Shipped in a Pack of 10, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 6-8 in tall in bloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Outdoors - Zones 4-8 (marginal and short-lived in 8a)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Toxic to pets if ingested - keep out of reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to light shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep dry through summer dormancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very sharply drained, lean soil on a slope or raised bed - never heavy wet clay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed lightly with bulb fertilizer in spring while the leaves are active, never during dormancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6-8 in tall in bloom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull sun to light shade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToxic to pets if ingested - keep out of reach\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it shipped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked to arrive healthy and shipped from our Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 10","offer_id":49176836702425,"sku":"WG-COLCHICUM-PK10","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 25","offer_id":49176836735193,"sku":"WG-COLCHICUM-PK25","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/colchicum-bulbs","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
