This is a vigorous herbaceous perennial some 60-80cm tall, which grows from slowly spreading, wiry, rhizomatous roots. It makes narrow leaves up to 40cm long (often less) which surround a spike of 6-12, purest white flowers. <\/p>\n
The St Bernard’s Lily is native to dry pastures and hillsides in the Mediterranean basin, where it flowers in early summer. It is often a native of poor soils in the wild and it is both tough and tolerant in cultivation, asking only for good drainage and sunshine and moderate fertility. <\/p>\n
It makes tight, tidy, well-mannered clumps, seldom more than 40cm across, but with time these clumps yield more and more flower stems and flowers in a succession from early summer onwards. <\/p>\n
This is a plant with few troubles (apart from the usual suspects – slugs and snails which can strike anything, anywhere). Give it time to establish and it will charm you for many years <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
