Plant Profile: Ornithogalum umbellatum

These stunning bulbs, which bloom in May, thrive in full sun, partial afternoon or morning sunlight, or in areas with 25% shade. They can withstand summer droughts but need adequate moisture during their growing season. When planting, ensure the bulbs are buried 5 inches deep and spaced 2 to 3 inches apart, with a density of 20 to 25 bulbs per square foot. They are ideal for use in flower beds, borders, as ground covers, in rock gardens, and within woodland settings. This plant is classified as Hardy III, meaning it can be damaged when temperatures drop below 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-15 degrees Celsius).
