Ornithogalum Nutans
M5771
Description
Ornithogalum Nutans produces elegant satin-like flowers in soft white and green shades, with each graceful stem carrying clusters of 10 to 20 nodding blooms. The delicate flowers of Ornithogalum nutans bring freshness and gentle movement to spring borders, woodland gardens, and naturalised planting schemes, where their subtle colouring pairs beautifully with other early bulbs.
Reliable and easy to grow, this charming variety thrives in sunny or lightly shaded positions with well-drained soil. Its excellent garden performance has earned Ornithogalum Nutans the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Care Guide
Ornithogalum thrive in warm, sunny spots in the garden, either in the ground or in pots. Plant the bulbs in spring, 5-8 cm deep, spaced 10 cm 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.
Bulbs planted in borders require lifting and storing over the winter and replanted the following spring.
