Calochortus albus
produces flowers on long arching stalks up to 2 feet tall. These California native
bulbs plants require a summer
of drought. The natural habitat of this species is a grassland in the north
part of the state to mixed
north facing slopes in the south. The nodding flowers are a treat to the eye from
the Coast Ranges to the Sierras. Calochortus albus blooms from mid to
late Spring. The Fairy Lily tolerates heavy soil when there
are dry summer conditions and the plants grow on a slope.
