Description

Ornithogalum thyrsoides (price per 20 seeds) It is a bulbous geophyte, 200 to 500 mm tall, developing large rounded bulbs that are dormant in the summer months. The plant has few (5-7) fleshy leaves that die back after flowering. Leaves range from 150 to 300 mm in length and 5 to 15 mm in width, are lance-shaped, smooth and soft-textured. Flower stalks are leafless and produce either a tight cluster of  30-50 flowers in a raceme or a loose corymb of few (5-20) flowers with flowers reaching almost the same height. The flowers are bowl-shaped and are supported by a large green bract about the length of pedicels in open flowers. Flowers are white or creamy-white, usually with a brown or green centre that fades with age. Sowing : Sow seeds in autumn in a well-draining medium. Spread seeds thinly to prevent damping-off. Cover with a thin layer of river sand. Keep moist. Seed will germinate in about 2 weeks after sowing. Locality: Grahamstown. Harvest: June 2020
