Triteleia hyacinthina

New! A good replacement for Triteleia laxa Silver Queen, it produces thin stems with airy umbels of variably lavender-tinged, white flowers with green veins and eyes, and two to three strap-like leaves.

Previously classified as Brodiaea and now classified as Triteleia, these perennials bloom after the big spring bulb show and, over time, may self-seed and naturalize. Triteleia is one of the few types of flower bulbs native to the northwest U.S. (others include Brodiaea, Camassia, Dichelostemma and Erythronium). Best planted in substantive clusters for the best effect, they yield delicate, airy umbels of upright, bell-shaped or star-shaped florets on thin, wiry stems, and grass-like foliage. Make sure to snip some stems: they are wonderful, long-lasting cut flowers. Triteleia is best grown in fertile, well-draining soil in full sun to bright shade with winter and spring moisture followed by summer dryness. Plant 4” deep and 3” to 4” apart. Top size corms. . Full to partial sunlight. Bloom time in horticultural zone 5: May/June. Plant 4" deep and 3" to 4" apart. HZ: 6-9. Height: 24".

  • Information
  • Miscellaneous Narcissi
    Not to be overlooked, these varieties are in their own little group because they don't quite fit into any of the R.H.S. divisions.

    All Narcissi tolerate a wide range of sunlight from full sun to semi-shade. Varieties with pink cups should be grown in areas of filtered sunlight. Narcissi prefer well-draining soil, hate to get wet feet and love to be fed with a 4-10-6 or 5-10-5 granular organic flower bulb fertilizer three times a year. Allow the foliage to thrive and die back naturally without braiding or premature removal. Bulb size: 12/14 cm, unless otherwise noted. Bloom time in a horticultural zone 5: March/April. Plant 6" deep and 6" apart. Horticultural zones 5-8. Height: 6" to 14", depending upon variety. Narcissus classification: Royal Horticultural Society Division 12.
