Native to the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria, growing in dry stony ground, Sternbergia fisheriana (often sold as S. fischeriana, now included under S. vernalis) bears bright yellow, star-shaped flowers with narrow 3-4 cm segments in spring, appearing together with the shiny, dark green, strap-like leaves. The globular bulb should be planted deep, and a warm, dry summer rest is essential for good flowering the following year.
