💧 Watering

Keep soil lightly moist during active growth, without allowing it to become waterlogged. Reduce watering as the foliage dies back.

Choose a sunny spot with good drainage. Its compact size suits the front of borders or containers where the flowers can be enjoyed up close.

🌿 Feeding

Apply a light dose of balanced fertilizer during spring growth, following the label instructions.

🍃 After Flowering

Remove faded flowers and leave the foliage until it has dried naturally. Bulbs can remain in well-drained soil and gradually multiply.

🇲🇹 Local Growing Tips

Check small containers during dry, windy spring weather. Keep dormant bulbs away from heavily irrigated areas during summer to help prevent rot.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Ornithogalum should be treated as toxic if eaten. Keep plants and loose bulbs away from dogs and cats.
