In zones 7 and below, plants are best grown in containers that are overwintered indoors. Repot only when pots become overcrowded. Keep soils uniformly moist during growing season. May also be planted in the ground 4-6” deep each spring after threat of frost has passed and then lifted, dried and stored each fall before the first hard frost. Plants go dormant after bloom, however, and do not like heavy moisture from late summer rains. Not an aggressive spreader. Noteworthy CharacteristicsOrnithogalum arabicum, commonly called Star of Bethlethem, is native to the Mediterranean and is also often commonly called Arabian star flower. Racemes of large, white, fragrant flowers (to 2” diameter) bloom atop scapes to 18-24” tall in late spring to early summer. Each flower has star-like white petals (tepals) with yellow anthers and a central black bead-like ovary. Grass-like dark green foliage. Genus name comes from the Greek words ornis meaning a bird and gala meaning milk for the white flowers. Specific epithet means of Arabia. ProblemsNo serious insect or disease problems. Bulb rot may occur in poorly drained soils. UsesBorders or containers. Planting Depth How deep should I plant my fall bulbs outdoors? The basic rule of thumb is that the hole should be at least three times as deep as the height of the bulb. Use the chart below for the required planting depth of your bulbs. Don't worry about your bulbs being planted an inch or two deeper than recommended; in most cases this provides the bulb with a little extra protection. How do I force my bulbs for indoor blooms? If so, most bulbs require a certain amount of chill-time in the refrigerator before they can be forced. Eight to fifteen weeks is the general requirement. See the "Chill Chart" below for approximate chill-times for most bulbs. You should, however, follow the package directions for any bulbs you purchase. If you cut the chill-time short for any bulbs, you may get blooms, but they will probably be stunted or deformed.
