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? |
Galtonia canidcans reaches about 3ft with up to 30 white flowers on each stem. |
Galtonia candicans may appear like a white bluebell but it flowers in late summer and being a bulbous plant is easily managed. |
Other good choices of summer flowering bulbs include eucomis, galtonia, ixia and crocosmia. |
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. |
More subdued for planting in April is the white-flowered Galtonia candicans. |
