Arabicum
M5773
Otherwise known as ‘Star of Bethlehem’, Ornithogalum ‘Arabicum’ is crowned by tightly packed clusters of white, star-like flowers, each punctuated by a black, bead-like centre.
The RHS has recognised this variety as part of their ‘Plants for Pollinators’ scheme, and the pollen-packed blooms will bring your garden to life with the gentle buzzing and fluttering of bees and butterflies. Renowned by florists for their exceptionally long vase life and their long, sturdy stems, make the most of your Ornithogalum indoors as well as out.
Lift these half-hardy bulbs once the flowers and foliage have faded and place in a sheltered, frost-free location. Re-plant in late spring for an encore performance.
