Leucocoryne
Native to Chile, Leucocoryne grow in grasslands in habitats similar to those of our
native Brodiaeas, to which they are related. Growing in the mild, rainy winters of
Chile, Leucocorynes produce their showy flowers in late winter. Many are
scented, and Leucocorynes make wonderful cut flowers since they last for an
amazingly long time in water. The genus Pabellonia encompasses those
species with fleshy appendages, but are included here under Leucocoryne. Most
species are hardy to Zones 7-8, but all need a warm, dry summer dormancy.
