{"product_id":"asphodelus-aestivus","title":"Asphodelus aestivus","description":"\u003cp\u003e(syn: Asphodelus microcarpus) Asphodelus aestivus is an amazing summer-dormant lily relative that ranges from North Africa to Turkey. The evergreen, basal, lily-like, glaucous green foliage gives rise in late spring to 3-5' tall, thick stalks, topped with branched spikes of white, star-shaped flowers that open from the bottom upwards over a series of weeks. The flower spikes of Asphodelus aestivus could best be described as a branched liatris with \u003ca title=\"gaura\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/gaura\"\u003egaura\u003c\/a\u003e-like flowers. Turkish asphodel...not to be confused with the more dangerous Turkish infidel, has proven amazingly easy to grow and long-lived in our dry, full sun rock garden. The roots of Asphodelus aestivus are used both as a salve for cuts as well as to make a tea for upset stomachs. Asphodelus aestivus also has great potential as a cut flower, since it peaks on Mother's Day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21025920709,"sku":"4449","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/products\/Asphodelus-aestivus.i-4449.s-18803.r-1.jpg?v=1663099756","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/asphodelus-aestivus","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
