Description
Spring brings icy white spires fit for a fairy snow queen. It’s Ornithogalum ponticum 'Sochii', a rare treasure that comes from the forests near Sochi in Russia. Besides making a statement in your garden beds, Ornithogalum ponticum 'Sochii' is an amazingly long-lasting cut flower. Cut it just as the first buds begin to open, and it will last for weeks in the vase. Plant your ornithogalum bulbs in full sun or partial shade and remember that they will need drier conditions after flowering and during dormancy. In most gardens, you won’t need to lift them for storage, but Ornithogalum ponticum 'Sochii' is so beautiful and so rare that you may want to play it safe. We supply top-size ornithogalum bulbs for optimal performance.
