Ornithogalum saundersiae Seeds

Giant Chincherinchee; Star of Bethlehem

The Ornithogalum genus belongs to the Hyacinthaceae family. This genus has very many species but is practically unknown in cultivation except for the yellow and orange species. The genus has a number of striking species, small compact plants with rather large flowers, excellent for pot cultivation. The flowers of all have a silky texture that is very attractive. In early summer, this bulbous perennial bears dense clusters of delicate, cup-shaped, pure-white flowers with black-green eyes above its lush, dark-green, straplike foliage. In northern regions, plant the bulbs in containers that can be overwintered indoors.
