Brodiaea Group

This includes Brodiaea, Triteleia, Dichelostemma, Bloomeria, and a few others. Closely related bulbs from the
Western USA, they all produce flowers in an umbel, and are ideally suited to the wild garden, or planted with
grasses in a wildflower meadow. Easy and undemanding, most members of the Brodiaea Group need a dryish
summer rest. If you live in the West, these should be in your garden.   Zone 7-10. SHIPS AUG-OCTOBER
