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.
