Overview

Giant summer hyacinth (Ornithogalum candicans) is a striking bulbous plant, native to open woodlands and scrub in South Africa. In late spring and summer, it produces large umbels of white, star-like flowers on dark green stems. The foliage is typically stiff and upright, displaying a glossy, mid-green color. This eye-catching plant is easily grown in well-drained, humus-rich soils and full sun. Although it is drought-tolerant, it prefers regular waterings to keep it looking its best. Once established, its resilient nature and striking appearance make it an attractive addition to any garden.
