Description
Triteleia hyacinthina is a BC native known as white brodiaea, white tripletlily, hyacinth brodiaea, and fool’s onion. It produces large, rounded clusters of milky-white, star-shaped flowers, sometimes tinged with lavender, and green central veins. The foliage is long and grass-like emerging in early spring and going dormant in late spring as the flowers appear. Flowers bloom on stems 12-24 inches tall and attract bees and butterflies. Easy to grow, undemanding, drought tolerant, beautiful, and adaptable. Makes for a charming addition to the rock or cottage garden. Plant in groups for best display. Native from BC to central California. Pollinator attractor. Deer resistant.
