Description

Ornithogalum balansae is a useful low growing bulb for horticulturists and landscape professionals seeking a neat spring flowering plant with a natural character. Its white star shaped flowers appear low to the ground and work particularly well in rockeries, gravel gardens, alpine style planting and the front of sunny borders where fine detail matters. In Irish conditions it is best used in free draining soil where its compact habit can be appreciated without being crowded by heavier planting. For estates, specialist gardens and curated public displays it provides an understated but very effective spring accent that broadens the bulb palette beyond the more standard narcissus and tulip combinations.
