Sternbergia - Sternbergia

Japanese: ステルンベルギア - すてるんべるぎあ

A bulbous plant of the Amaryllidaceae family (APG classification: Amaryllidaceae) planted in summer or autumn. It is also called yellow Zephyranthes, as opposed to the white-flowered Zephyranthes candida (Lindl.) Herb., because the flower shape is similar. The bulb is a bulb covered with black skin. From September to October, it produces flower stalks about 20 cm long with leather-string-like leaves, and blooms into beautiful golden yellow flowers about 5 cm in diameter that resemble crocuses of the Iridaceae family (APG classification: Iridaceae). Native to the Mediterranean coast.

It can be planted from July to mid-September, but those planted later will bloom when the leaves have just started to grow. It grows best in full sun, but is highly cold-tolerant, so it does not need to be replanted for 4 to 5 years.

ヒガンバナ科（APG分類：ヒガンバナ科）の夏または秋植え球根草。花形が似ているので、白色花のタマスダレ（ゼフィランサス）Zephyranthes candida (Lindl.) Herb.に対してキバナタマスダレともいう。球根は黒い皮に包まれた鱗茎(りんけい)。9～10月、革紐(かわひも)状の葉とともに約20センチメートルの花茎を出し、アヤメ科（APG分類：アヤメ科）のクロッカスに似た径約5センチメートルの美しい黄金色の花を開く。地中海沿岸原産。

　7月から9月中旬まで植えられるが、遅く植えたものはわずかに葉を伸ばしたころに開花する。日当りでよく育つが耐寒性は強く、4～5年植え替えの必要はない。
