Other good choices of summer flowering bulbs include eucomis, galtonia, ixia and crocosmia. |
|
Hardy bulbs such as nerines, galtonia and amaryllis belladonna can be planted in spring and left to naturalise in a warm, sunny spot. |
|
Galtonia canidcans reaches about 3ft with up to 30 white flowers on each stem. |
|
More subdued for planting in April is the white-flowered Galtonia candicans. |
|
Galtonia candicans may appear like a white bluebell but it flowers in late summer and being a bulbous plant is easily managed. |
|
If we northerners are willing to dig our glads and cannas and store them in the basement or garage, why not do the same with Acidanthera, Bletilla and Galtonia? |
|
Except in extreme northern zones, where they must be lifted in fall, Galtonia will withstand winter if planted in a sunny spot and heavily mulched. |
|
The Cape Hyacinth, Galtonia candicans is tall and white, lifting its elegant head above regular border plants, it brings a sort of pearly freshness to the August garden. |
