Galtonia regalis

I love green flowers! I know they aren’t the easiest flowers to spot in the garden but when you stumble across them they seem extra special. Galtonia has many pendant, lantern-like, green bells on tall flower stems. The leaves are large & strappy and loved by snails, so do snail bait around this one. Grows 3-4’ tall by 1' wide and is from moist Montana cliffs of the Drakensberg area of South Africa. It gets summer rainfall there, so it is fine in irrigated gardens. Likes well-drained soil. Grows easily in the garden or keep in a pot for close viewing.
