The Gardens

Ornithogalum / Star of Bethlehem

Ornithogalum magnum
Star of Bethlehem

In 2014 I planted 50 Ornithogalum magnum bulbs to spread around all of the gardens for early summer white frilliness. They are from John Scheepers.

They can be invasive, but based on my experience with equally rampant spreaders like evening primrose, I am skeptical that these will get out of control.

They add a bright white vertical in the somewhat chaotic early summer garden. Kind of like white candelabras!
