Asphodeline lutea at Digging Dog
King SpearAsphodeline
Asphodeline lutea
Native to the eastern Mediterranean, this
clumping member of the Lily family greets spring with
intriguing spirals of tightly wrapped bladelike foliage,
patterned like green candy canes. Emerging from
blue-hued grassy tufts, these leafy flowering spikes
soon become dense with fragrant citron-yellow,
star-shaped blooms, which look striking in drifts
beside Omphalodes ‘Cherry Ingram’ and
Euphorbia ‘Jade Dragon’. Zoë was
the first to discover the hard, marble-sized, green
fruit that appears after the flowers fade.
Blooms April–June. Size: 2-1/2'–3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 6. Asphodeline lutea (p-0361) Each $7.00
