Asphodeline (name modified from Asphodelus). Liliaceae. Hardy herbaceous plants, distinguished from Asphodelus by the erect and leafy stems.
Asphodelines have long racemes of yellow or white fls. in June and July. All the older species were described under Asphodelus. In 1830, Reichenbach made the new genus Asphodeline for A. lutea and others. The only species advertised in Amer. is A. lutea, but all those described below are likely to be in cult. Monogr. by J. G. Baker in Journ. Linn. Soc. 15:273- 278 (1877). There are some 145 species in the Medit. region and the Caucasus.
The culture of Asphodeline lutea is simple. Any soil will suit. Partial shade is allowable, but flowers are often better in the sun. Propagated readily by division, in spring or the fall.
