Globe Tulips (Calochorlus Albus) 
Calochortus 
(Globe Tulips) 
Often referred to as Fairy Lanterns; the 
shape of the flowers and the way they 
hang on the stem suggest the name. 
Plants are much branched and bear 
quite a number of exquisitely tinted 
flowers on long, slender, leaf-wrapped 
stems. 
Globe Tulips are natives of woodlands, 
so should be planted in any friable soil 
mixed with plenty of leaf mold. They 
like some shade but not full shade. Fine 
subjects to naturalize in the rock garden 
or in shaded woods, but they must have 
perfect drainage. Plant bulbs 2>^ to 
3 in. deep and 3 to 6 in. apart. In 
cold sections, provide winter protection. 
Bloom in May and June.

and pinkish tinging. 18 to 30 in.
