Care

Plant when danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Can be planted in pots or containers or in the ground.
Plant 2-3 times the depth of the bulb, in well drained soil and 15cm/6” apart.
When leaves die back and turn yellow, the bulbs need lifting and storing in a warm area. They will not survive the Winter outdoors.
If in pots or containers take these indoors for the Winter also, into a warm shed or greenhouse for example.
Be sure to renew the compost the following season.
Ornithogalum saundersiae are best stored warm during their dorment period in the Winter. This improves the flowering in the following season.
