Ornithogalum sp. ‘Tiny Peddie' is a hardy, evergreen, bulbous plant with a tuft of glossy, grass-like leaves and small bulbs that multiply.

It flowers from October to March with spikes of pure white, star-like flowers that are almost translucent. The flowers attract insects to the garden and make delicate cut flowers.

A beautiful plant for rockeries or containers or as a border plant.

This pretty plant will happily multiply in your beds but it is small, so should be planted in groups.

These bulbs require well-drained, compost-rich soil in sun or light semi-shade.

Size: 20 to 25cm

Insect food plant: The flowers attract pollinating insects to the garden with pollen and nectar.

Landscaping: Beautiful container plant, planter or border plant for a flower bed.
