Care Guide
Ornithogalum thrive in warm, sunny spots in the garden, either in the ground or in pots.
Plant the bulbs in spring, 5-8cm deep, spaced 10cm apart into fertile well-drained soil. Water in after planting and consistently once leaves appear and if the soil appears dry. Do not allow the bulbs to sit in cold, wet soil.
Flowers appear in late summer on stems 15-80cm tall, depending on variety.
Bulbs planted in borders require lifting and storing over the winter and replanted the following spring.
