Summer hyacinth (Ornithogalum candicans) is a delicately pretty flowering plant which adds dynamic interest to flower beds and mixed borders. Though this unique bulb is relatively easy to grow, becoming familiar with its needs and growth habit will ensure that plants thrive for years to come.

As late summer bloomers, these bulbs can continue to flower for a couple months, depending on the region. Read on to find out how to add easy sparkle to late summer displays.

While they can tolerate partial shade, too much may negatively impact its ability to produce flowers.

Though they can withstand brief periods of drought, irrigating them routinely will aid in their flower stalk development. Continue weekly watering until the plant stops producing flowers. You can then begin to water less frequently.
