  • 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.

    Watering Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. During active growth, water in prolonged dry spells so the soil stays lightly moist but never waterlogged. Once the foliage naturally dies back, reduce watering and allow the bulbs to rest more dryly.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in fertile loam in sun or partial shade. Choose a position that does not stay waterlogged in winter, as good drainage helps bulbs return reliably. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season.

    Top tip

    Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulb can store energy for the following season. It works particularly well in a borders setting; give it enough space and light to develop naturally rather than crowding it.
