Sternbergia fischeriana | Rating: votes| Print / Pdf
An excellent choice of spring flowering plant, sternbergia fischeriana brings colour and freshness to any garden. It is commonly referred to as the autumn daffodil, as many of its genus are, but is in fact a spring-flowering plant. This bulbous perennial produces six-petalled daffodil-yellow blossoms usually in early spring, with the flowers growing on short, thick succulent stems, from amongst a dense clump of lush, erect, lance-shaped and slightly twisted grey-green leaves. It makes for an excellent bed or border plant in a cottage garden, but requires deep planting in very fertile but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Pruning is not necessary.
