Notes
'Rudy' prettyface (Triteleia 'Rudy') is a bulb for borders, low maintenance gardens, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. White flowers with a glowing purple-blue stripe open in umbels on wiry stems. The narrow leaves go dormant at flowering time, so give the bulbs a dry rest in summer.
Pairs well with Blanket flower, Tickseed, Rock rose, and Sedge.
