Ipheion Charlotte Bishop
M5554
Description
An abundance of lavender-pink, star-shaped blooms come into their own in May and June on Ipheion ‘Charlotte Bishop’ adding fragrance and colour to the early summer garden.
Delicate petals fade towards the flower centre and carry a darker central stripe, leading to a pollen-rich heart which is loved by bees and summer pollinators.
Native to Argentina and known as the Spring Starflower, Ipheion ‘Charlotte Bishop’ are fully hardy, and the bulbs will naturalise in moderately fertile, well-drained soil.
Excellent for rockeries, sunny garden borders and containers for a splash of pretty colour and airy movement. Forms a bed of strap-like, glaucous foliage.
Care Guide
Excellent for rockeries or front of borders.
Plant in a sheltered spot, in partial shade in well-drained soil, 2-5 cm deep, 7-10 cm apart. Only a few blooms in the first year, but after a few years will flower profusely.
