BULBS FOR DRY SOIL IN SUN
TRITELIA
Like a white-flowered ornamental onion without the smell, this very attractive and reliable bulb produces umbels of starry flowers on slender stems in early summer.
TULIP
One of the most reliable and lovely small tulip species, producing a rosette of glossy, narrow leaves, and bearing star-shaped yellow, white-tipped flowers in spring.
WHISTLING JACKS
Reliable and easy to grow, this robust plant quickly forms a clump, then a patch, of leafy stems that sport bold spikes of vivid magenta flowers during summer.
FOXTAIL LILY
Although not strictly a bulb, this perennial has a divided, fleshy crown that produces a cluster of strap-like leaves, and tall spires of starry yellow flowers in summer.
WIDOW IRI
This sombre but charming iris relative has narrow, grassy leaves, which are joined by green or greenish yellow flowers in spring. The outer petals have blackish brown tips.
SCILLA
The basal rosettes of broad, strap-shaped, fleshy green leaves are topped, during late spring, by striking, large, conical heads of small, star-shaped blue flowers.
LADY TULIP
A beautiful tulip of slender, elegant poise. It produces narrow grey leaves and white spring flowers with dark crimson eyes and pinkish crimson backs to the outer petals.
