Product Description
Galtonia Candicans produce the most regal white bell shaped flowers that are highly fragrant and long-lasting. They are mostly pure white, but the tube is sometimes pale green on the outside with a very pale green median band running up the back of each lobe. Since the bulbs are dormant in winter, they are extremely frost hardy and are ideal for areas with high summer rain and cold winters - perfect for the UK! Cape Hyacinths prefer full sun and look best at the back of a border. Flowers July to September.

Growing at a glance…
Plant Galtonia bulbs in fertile, well-drained soil, in a sunny position. Can be planted 8-10cm deep and about 15-20cm apart. In winter, it is best to apply a mulch to help protect bulbs, or in areas of extreme cold you can lift and transplant into pots (store in a cool greenhouse or garage). Plant bulbs outside in March-April, or pot on into smaller pots and keep them inside on a sunny windowsill or greenhouse until threat of frost has passed.
