Harvest Brodiaea (Brodiaea coronaria) can be found from California to British Columbia. It is native to a variety of habitats, including grasslands, meadows, and open woodlands. Harvest Brodiaea is highly regarded for its striking beauty and vibrant flowers. The satin blue clusters of flowers rise on slender stems just above grass-like foliage, creating a stunning display.

 

Blooms typically occur in late spring to early summer. The vibrant flowers attract native bees and butterflies, which serve as their primary pollinators. While not a major food source, the bulbs of Brodiaea coronaria may be consumed by small mammals and rodents. This contributes to the food web and provides valuable resources for wildlife in its native habitats. Harvest Brodiaea has historically been used by Native American peoples for medicinal purposes. Parts of the plant were used to treat various ailments, such as stomachaches and wounds.

 

Harvest Brodiaea thrives in well-drained soils, including sandy, loamy, or clay soils. Sow the seeds in a well-prepared seedbed in the fall or simulate cold stratification. Plants require 2-3 years to reach maturity.
