Californica Brodiaea 'Wild Hyacinth' Out of Stock



This variety longs for loamy, well-drained yet moisture-retentive soil, as would be found on the edge of a woodland garden with some shade. It can be used as plants for the rock garden but adequate moisture must be given during growing period. It is also good for naturalizing in grass or flower borders. Alongside a stream or beside a pool is a very good place. The flower is excellent for cutting.

Special Features
 

This bulb needs exceptionally good drainage and is not winter hardy except for zone 7-10. They are great to be planted in groups. Also known as Triteleia californica.

Features of Species or Group:
  Native to Northern California in the United States introduced in 1896. Found growing in grasslands at lower elevations on well-drained soils.

Features of Genus:
  The genus is named after James Brodie (1744-1824), a Scottish horticulturalist. This extensive genus has some 30 species, most of which usually are not obtainable from commercial sources, and has been the center of much change. Over the years botanists have divided the genus, and many species formerly listed under Brodiae are now placed in other genera, i.e.: Triteleia, Bloomeria, Dichelostemma, Ipheion, and Muilla.

How to Plant Specialty Bulbs?
 

To plant Specialty Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Californica Brodiaea 'Wild Hyacinth' should be planted roughly 4" deep and 5" apart from one another.

Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.

When to Plant Californica Brodiaea 'Wild Hyacinth'?
  Specialty Bulbs are normally planted Mid Fall, and most Californica Brodiaea 'Wild Hyacinth' will begin to flower sometime in Early Summer.
