Hyacinthaceae

• Uses: Chincherinchee is usually grown as a source of long lasting cut flowers.

• Culture: The plant does not have sufficient cold tolerance to be left in the ground through the winter. The white flowers are produced on one-foot stems in early summer. When the flowers are cut and cared for properly, they can last for months. At the end of the growing season dig the bulbs and store them as you would other tender bulbs. Chincherinchee may also be grown in pots.
