''C. laevigatus'' has a long flowering period which starts in late autumn or early winter and may continue into February.

''[[Colchicum autumnale]]'' is commonly known as "autumn crocus", but is a member of the plant family [[Colchicaceae]], and not a true crocus (of the family Iridaceae).<!--Source in section Similarly named species-->
