Asphodeline are herbaceous perennials or biennials with slender, dark green foliage and clusters of bright yellow or white star-shaped flowers that are held into tall, erect tower-like structures. They make a fantastic feature when planted in flower beds or borders and on banks and slopes. You should expect to see your Asphodeline grow to an approximate height of 1m (40”) and a spread of 50cm (20”).
Asphodeline are best planted in well-drained soil of chalk, loam and sand within an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH setting. They are best positioned in a site which has access to full sun. Dig a hole that will accommodate the depth and width of your plant. You may wish to amend the planting area with a generous amount of organic matter and mix thoroughly. Water well once in place to settle the surrounding soil.
Asphodeline are low maintenance and easy to care for. They may require additional protection during cold spells over the winter period. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of your plant in autumn. You may wish to cut back Asphodeline after flowering although the seed heads are an often attractive visual during the colder months.
It is possible to propagate Asphodeline by seed or alternatively by division once flowering has finished.
