A small group of West Coast bulbs native from
British Columbia to Northern Mexico. Known by a variety of common names;
Mariposa Lily, Sego Lily, Star tulip, Fairy lanterns and Cats ear; these showy
plants are worth growing in most gardens. The majority of Calochortus like
light shade, excellent drainage and very dry conditions in the summer while
dormant. If you don't have a dry location, you can plant in a bulb frame or
lift the bulbs in the summer and re-plant in late November. We plan to have a
larger selection in the future, but presently, numbers are small. The best time
to order Calochortus is for late fall shipping, although they will be available
potted in Spring at one bulb per pot. Calochortus is a naturally small
bulb.
