Triteleia laxa Koningin Fabiola

Fabiola' captivates with starry violet-blue blooms on slender stems, rising to 0cm. Ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens, or naturalised meadows, they thrive in well-drained soil. Native to California and named in honour of Belgium’s Queen Fabiola, their graceful presence adds a regal charm to early summer displays. A delightful, low-maintenance addition to any garden.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in autumn, from September to November, before the first frosts.

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Triteleia thrives in borders, gravel gardens, or among low-growing perennials. It also performs well in pots.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant the bulbs about 8-10 cm deep
• Spacing: Space bulbs 8-10 cm apart
• Postion: Place the pointed end facing upwards

Aftercare:
Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering—this allows the bulbs to store energy for the following year. Once established, Triteleia is drought-tolerant and may multiply over time.

TIP: For a more natural look, plant in informal clumps of 10–15 bulbs rather than rows. In containers, mix with late spring or early summer-flowering companions like Alliums or Sisyrinchium for a longer display.
