Add bright star-shaped Ornithogalum blooms to a sunny windowsill or entry table this spring! Appreciated for their brilliant cluster of yellow to orange flowers adorned with a contrasting bead-like black eye - this easy grower, makes for the perfect hostess gift!
Ornithogalum goes by many names including 'Orange Star Plant' 'Star of Bethlehem' 'Sun Star' and 'Yellow Chincherinchee'. Native to South Africa, they are primarily grown for cut flowers and flowering-pot production.
It’s all about choosing the right location – Ornithogalum thrives in well-draining soil and requires ample sunlight. It’s important to choose a spot in your garden that receives full to partial sunlight throughout the day. If you're planting Ornithogalum indoors, place them near a sunny window where they can bask in adequate sunlight!
