Brodiaea 'Queen Fabiola' (Brodiaea laxa) is grown for its clusters of deep blue flowers, which appear in late spring and early summer. This plant is native to the west coasts of North and South America, where it grows wild in dry grasslands and arid, shrubby areas.

Is Brodiaea perennial?

Brodiaea species are herbaceous perennials, growing from corms. Between one and six narrow leaves are produced from the corm. The bare flowering stem (scape) carries an umbel of flowers.

What month do you plant Brodiaea bulbs?

Plant the bulbs in the autumn, before the first frost, so that rooting can take place quickly. The plant's aesthetic qualities will be maximised by planting it in intermittent groupings of between six and eight bulbs. Plant Brodiaea in well-drained and fertile soil that receives little or no shade.
