Ornithogalum Pyrenaicum

Beschreibung

Tall slender spikes of starry pale green and white flowers appear extremely early in the year, sometimes as early as Christmas.This rare and fascinating British native has the extraordinary quality of having young flower shoots which may be eaten as a vegetable, similar to asparagus.The common name „Bath Asparagus“ comes from the fact it was once abundant near the English city of the same name.
