Triteleis ixioides
‘Starlight’ is awesome
even when
planted alone.
And its light color
helps the dark
colored plant,
Oxalis regnelii
var. triangularis
be seen better in
the garden. They
make a wonderful
team!
Triteleia ‘Queen Fabiola’
S P E C I A L B U L B S
It’s obvious how much we like the color blue in the garden
because it blends with every other color and makes every
other plant look better than it would alone. This image
shows two small, relatively inexpensive bulbs that are
planted together en masse emphasizing their contrast in
colors and creating an awesome sight. Scilla siberica
‘Spring Beauty’ and Anemone blanda ‘White Splendour’
make an incredible statement together.
Triteleia ‘Rudy’
Rudy - an amazingly eyecatching
white version
with violet stripes; fabulous
in the garden!
