Ornithogalum thyrsoides
20 seeds
"Chinkerinchee"

Showy bulbous herb of vast horticultural importance because of its long lasting flower stalks suitable for use as cut flowers.

Description
O. thyrsoides is a perennial herb, 20 to 50 cm tall, with round bulbs becoming dormant in the winter months. The plant has few (5-7) fleshy leaves that die back after flowering. Leaves range from 15 to 30 cm in length and 0.5 to 1.5 cm in width, are lance-shaped, smooth and soft-textured.

Flower stalks are leafless and produce either a tight cluster of flowers (30-50) in a raceme or few flowers (5-20) in a loose corymb with flowers reaching almost the same height. The bowl-shaped flower is supported by a large green bract about the length of pedicels in open flowers. Flowers are white or creamy-white, usually with a brown or green centre that fades with age.
O. thyrsoides is recommended as a winter-growing species for gardens and containers.
