Description

Ornithogalum balansae is a compact, early-blooming bulb producing white star-shaped flowers with green reverse striping. Native to Turkey, this dwarf species is ideal for rock gardens, troughs, and gravel planting schemes where space is limited but spring interest is still desired.

Its tidy habit and drought tolerance make it perfect for low-input schemes, alpine beds, or formal edging. Best grown in full sun or light shade in free-draining soil. Spreads gently via offsets, returning reliably in mild climates like Ireland’s.
