Ornithogalum bulbs really come into their own when planted in large drifts, and will transform your garden or landscape into a beautiful carpet of low-growing lush foliage topped with a profusion of pretty, white, star-shaped flowers. Ornithogalum bulbs look great growing at the foot of deciduous trees and shrubs, and are also a superb choice for containers and window boxes. In fact, many
gardeners prefer to plant ornithogalum bulbs in pots, where their spread and growth can be contained easily. Ornithogalum bulbs favour full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil.

Making the most of your Ornithogalum bulbs

When planting Ornithogalum bulbs, it is advisable to space them roughly 15cm apart as each plant will make many bulblets. Once planted in their happy spot, Ornithogalum bulbs require very little after care and will go on to reward you with an abundance of clusters of pretty white flowers year after year.

fantastic cut flowers. Not only do they look and smell wonderful they can last up to an incredible 3 weeks in a floral arrangement or bouquet.
