Ornithogalum ‘White Trophy’, commonly known as the ‘Star of Bethlehem,’ has an exquisitely delicate appearance. It produces slender stems topped with up to five star-shaped white flowers, each subtly accented with faint green stripes. Over time, when planted in an ideal location, this plant can thrive and naturalize, spreading through both bulb offsets and occasionally self-sown seeds. To cultivate Ornithogalum successfully, consider its sensitivity to cold. Although it isn’t exceptionally hardy, you can protect it from winter’s temperature fluctuations by applying a layer of mulch, once the ground has frozen. This will help safeguard the bulbs during periods of inconsistent snow coverage, ensuring the plant’s survival and continued beauty in your garden.
