Triteleia Queen Fabiola

Triteleia Queen Fabiola is the summer bulb that fills the gap left by fading spring flowers with a confidence and grace that few other plants can match. In May to July, it raises loose clusters of cool blue-purple star-shaped blooms on slender stems above the border, creating exactly the kind of airy, naturalistic effect that contemporary garden designers spend considerable effort trying to achieve. Long-flowering and easy to grow in well-drained soil and full sun, it naturalises steadily, returning each year with slightly more presence than before. As a cut flower it is beautiful and long-lasting; in the border it brings a quality of lightness and movement that heavier summer plants rarely achieve. Dutch-grown and selected by BLOM for healthy corms that establish quickly.
