Ornithogalum ponticum Sochi (syn. magnum)

Ornithogalum ponticum Sochi (syn magnum) belongs to the ''Star of Bethlehem'' family and is generally pretty tough and accomodating and perfect for naturalising in drier, lighter soils. This is species from the Caucasus which blooms in June at 24" (60cm) high with many white and green flowers circling from the bottom up the stem as they open. I have these successfully growing in some rough (late cut) grass to follow some Camassias and they are doing well, but they could equally enhance a border. 

Planting Instructions

Ornithogalum ponticum Sochi bulbs should be planted in a sunny, drier site. They would provide a great contrast to some of the later flowering Alliums and it might be worth trying them in grass to follow naturalised camassia.
