I am becoming interested in Colchicums. They look like Crocus, but they bloom in the Fall and they are a great idea to add natural color near my patio when all the other flowers are spent.

I purchased 80 seeds of Colchicum, which I should receive by the end of September 2009. When do you think I should sow them, where (indoor, in a pot outside, or in a coldframe), and when should I expect them to germinate?

I hope to hear from someone experienced!
