Description
Ornithogalum narbonense is a perennial bulbous plant that comes from the Mediterranean. From May to July, small flowers bloom in stars. They are gathered in elongated clusters. The flower of Ornithogalum is of a pure white with fine green stripes on the sepals.
The flowers are upright on tall, stiff stems. They join the leaves, which are shorter than the floral stem. This foliage has the peculiarity of being evergreen and is of a glaucous green colour. Ornithogalum narbonense is hardy to -10°C (14°F).
This perennial, nicknamed Star of Bethlehem, can reach a height of 30 to 60cm (12 to 24in). It grows in sunny meadows and fallow lands, as well as in short grass meadows or in open woods. You can cultivate this Ornithogalum narbonense in open ground or in pots.

Planting and care
Ornithogalum narbonense should be placed in a sunny position in a fairly fertile and well-drained soil. Do not place it in a damp corner. It is a thermophilic plant, meaning it requires warmth and sun while avoiding the scorching rays of the summer sun. However, it can still be grown in light shade. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 5 to 7cm (2 to 3in) and space them 10cm (4in) apart. Place them in a greenhouse in autumn for early flowering. In winter, keep the bulbs dry with a mulch as they are sensitive to frost and bulb rot caused by excess water. You can replant the bulbs in May. Nevertheless, this plant is resistant to diseases and parasites. Ornithogalum self-seeds spontaneously, which is why it can become invasive in mild climate regions. To prevent this, cut the flower stems as soon as they have faded.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
