Dear Jane:
Although conditions here in the pampas are a lot warmer than
in N. California or Oregon, my experience with Colchicums has been the same
than Mary Sue's: they thrive with good drainage and rot if for any reason
are in wet soil for a time. It is great to know that one more genus is
thriving in your beds, Mary Sue. There is enough Colchicum material in the
trade, both cultivars and species to assemble a fine collection.
Best
Alberto
