    Delicate looking (but tough) bulb from the Mediterranean, to 6-8” with white flowers appearing before the leaves from the end of August through October. Can be planted between stones or where it will emerge through small ground covers. For full sun to dappled shade -- a dry summer spot is preferred. Frost hardy to 10F, USDA zone 8, possibly lower.

    AKA Acis autumnalis   Hard to believe this delicate 4-8” bulbous perennial with thin, thread like foliage is part of the Amaryllis family! Sweet, dangling white bells with red bases late summer to fall at a time when cuteness is welcome in the garden. Critter proof! Leaves persist into spring or are almost evergreen with moisture...well drained soils, not too dry, sun to light shade. Meditteranean native. USDA Zone 7  3" pot

    Native to the Iberian Peninsula, these demure, nodding, white fragrant bells with a pink blush at the base can grow in rock crevices or moist soils as long as the soil drains well. Grassy leaves follow the bloom. It's wonderfully naturalizing and soooo pretty!Winter wet, summer dry, it's perfect for the PNW. 6" T

    One of the sweetest little bulbs imaginable! Summer dormant with dainty white flowers on 6" stems appearing in Aug into Sept. This grows in Portugal, Gibraltar and Morocco and is just as happy growing with our native Madrona (Arbutus menziesii) here as it is Olives back home. Grassy foliage up in fall and winter.

    Fall flowering as you would expect, leaves appear after the flowers 1-3 white flowers with a pink tinge on 6" stems.

    This is a most dainty bulb with dark green, grass-like foliage, emerging late summer. Bell-shaped flowers with a maroon base are born on maroon stalks. There are at least 3 large bulbs per pot along with a bunch of small ones.
