  • Galtonia Summer Hyacinth is a striking bulb that blooms in the late summer. It sends up tall spikes adorned with clusters of nodding, white, bell-shaped flowers. These blooms dangle from sturdy, upright stems, offering a sophisticated, architectural quality that brings both height and a sense of motion to garden borders, especially when other plants have finished their display.

  • Reaching heights of approximately 90-120cm, this perennial bulb forms clumps of fresh, green, strap-like leaves at its base, providing a solid foundation even before the flowers appear. Its delicate, white blooms offer a bright touch and a welcome contrast in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and more naturalistic planting designs. They also make for lovely cut flowers.

  • Galtonia candicans is a straightforward plant to cultivate, and it comes back year after year once it's settled in. It's fully hardy in most UK gardens, and it demands very little care, which makes it a great option for gardeners seeking reliable late-season colour without a lot of work.

    • Light Required Full sun to partial shade

    Best Growing Conditions Plant Galtonia candicans bulbs in spring in moist but well-drained soil in a position of full sun or partial shade. Plant bulbs deeply and water after planting. Once established, plants are low maintenance and will flower reliably each summer.
