Perfect, star-shaped flowers of pure white are produced in abundance on Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ during May and June, with a second flush of flowers in autumn.

The bulbs of this early summer beauty should be planted in autumn, in groups or ribbons near the front of the border, in a rockery, or in containers of loam-based compost. Ipheion prefer full sun and well-drained soil.

Elegant, wiry stems up to 20cm tall hold the exquisite, sweetly scented flowers above clumps of glaucous foliage.

Ipheion ‘Alberto Castillo’ holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit for plant excellence and reliability.
