Read about Sternbergia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Sternbergia (named for Count Caspar Sternberg, a botanist and writer, 1761-1838). Amaryllidaceae. Low-growing bulbous herbs, hardy and used for outdoor planting.

Leaves produced after or with the fl., strap-shaped or linear: scape short: fls. frequently solitary, rarely 2, bright yellow; perianth funnel-shaped, erect, tube short or rather long, lobes linear or lanceolate, erect-spreading; filaments filiform, free; ovary 3-celled: fr. fleshy, ovoid or oblong, scarcely dehiscent; seeds subglobose.— About a dozen species, E. Eu. to Asia Minor. The bulbs should be planted rather deeply, about 6 in. J. N. Gerard says of their culture in G.F. 10:158 that they require a rather heavy soil, in a somewhat dry sunny position where they will be well ripened in summer. CH
