T. laxa

 

Common Name: Wally Basket, Ithuriel's Spear

California’s most common Triteleia and the easiest to grow. Comes in many shades of violet. This form, from the lower elevations of Yuba County at 40 to 200', has a 5–6" umbel of strong blue–violet flowers on stems 16 to 20" high. Multiplies rapidly from offsets. Adaptable and easy to grow, even in heavy clay soils.

Bulbs:$2.50 each



T. peduncularis


Common Name: Long-rayed Triteliea

Pure white flowers on very long pedicels up to 10" long, with stems 12 to 24" high. This is a late bloomer, flowering as late as July. It is somewhat of a 'wet grower', associated with seasonal stream edges and swales, so it wants early summer water. The seed was collected from Lake County.

Bulbs:$2.50 each
