Triteleia (Triplet Lilies)
2 products
Triteleia’s starry summer blooms (June - July) provide nectar for long-tongued pollinators like bumblebees (Bombus spp.) and hoverflies (Syrphidae), thriving in well-drained, sunny borders. Their grass-like foliage offers minimal shelter for ground beetles, while their clustered flowers create efficient foraging patches for time-strapped summer pollinators. Though native to North America, their drought tolerance makes them ideal for climate-resilient gardens. Pair with UK-native Allium carinatum (keeled garlic) to extend pollinator value in meadows or rockeries. Their bulbs are rodent-resistant, making them a practical choice where squirrels browse more vulnerable plants.
