Ornithogalum thyrsoies

Description

Ornithogalum thyrsoides, commonly known as Chincherinchee or Wonder Flower, is a striking bulbous perennial native to South Africa. It produces upright stems topped with dense clusters of star-shaped, creamy white flowers, often with a subtle green centre. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the long-lasting flowers are excellent for cutting and can brighten up both gardens and floral arrangements. Its glossy, strap-like green leaves form a neat base, complementing the floral display. Ideal for sunny borders, rock gardens, or containers, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Growing to about 30-50cm tall, it adds elegance and charm effortlessly.
