Ornithogalum Chincherinchee Flower Bulbs (Mixed)

About Ornithogalum Chincherinchee Flower Bulbs

Chincherinchee (Ornithogalum) is a South African bulb known for its clusters of star-shaped white-to-cream flowers that last unusually long, both on the plant and as a cut flower. It's a low-fuss addition to Indian pots, borders and balcony gardens.

How to Plant

1. Choose firm, healthy bulbs.
2. Use a well-draining pot or bed with a loose, fertile soil mix.
3. Plant the bulb about 2-3 inches deep, pointed end up.
4. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil.

Light, Water & Soil

• Light: full sun to partial shade.
• Water: moderate - water when the topsoil dries out, avoiding waterlogging.
• Soil: well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost.

Planting Season & Blooming

Best planted in autumn to early winter, in a temperate to warm climate. Flowers typically emerge in spring, and are known for lasting several weeks once open.

Care & Pruning

• Fertilizer: a balanced liquid fertilizer during active growth.
• Pruning: deadhead spent flowers and remove yellowing foliage once it has died back naturally.
