Description

Ornithogalum umbellatum is a classic naturalising bulb with crisp white, star-shaped flowers and grass-like foliage. Flowering from April to May, it’s a reliable, hardy performer ideal for lawns, orchard floors, and lightly shaded borders.

A vigorous spreader in undisturbed soil, this species thrives in Irish conditions and is perfect for mass planting in naturalistic grass areas or informal meadows. Best combined with other spring bulbs like Narcissus poeticus, Fritillaria meleagris, or Camassia for sustained succession.

Landscapers value O. umbellatum for its ease of care, ability to multiply, and clean form in spring designs.
