The graceful pillars of Galtonia ‘Candicans’ extend skywards like a magnificent Cathedral spire, giving this bloom its common name of ‘Spire Lily’.
‘Candicans’ is derived from the Latin meaning ‘shining white’ and the long stems live up to their name, gleaming with pearly, bell-shaped flowers. Radiating a light scent, Galtonia is packed with sweet nectar, proving irresistible to pollinators. Native to South Africa, these bulbs are nonetheless hardy and robust, thriving in container displays and naturalising amongst borders and lawns.
The RHS has presented this variety with a coveted Award of Garden Merit, proving its excellent performance and reliability.
