Brodiaea californica

Description

A delicate and very pretty looking plant, quite similar to Alliums in growth and habit. In early summer flower stalks are produced with up to 12 small, funnel-shaped, upward-facing, pink flowers. The blue-green leaves will normally die back as the flowers stalk emerges. Not fully hardy so unless you have a really dry, sheltered spot grow this in pots or in alpine house, in full sun. Height 50cm (20")..
