Colchicum × agrippinum is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae. It is considered to be a hybrid between C. variegatum and C. autumnale,[1] and not a true species, although this is not certain.[2] The genus and the species are commonly called autumn crocus, naked lady or meadow saffron.
Colchicum × agrippinum is considered one of the easiest species of the genus Colchicum to grow. It is moderately tall, up to 6 inches (15 cm) and displays many crocus-like flowers from a single corm. Like other colchicums, it flowers in late summer or autumn long before the strap-shaped leaves, which appear in spring. The flowers have a distinct tessellation, or checker-board pattern of pink and white, and the anthers have purple tips. These traits help to identify it from other colchicums.[3]
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit[4] (confirmed 2017).[5]
