Dichelostemma capitatum
is one of our most dependable California native bulbs, reliably blooming
year after year. Blue Dicks is in the Onion Family. Dichelostemma capitatum is native to most of the
Western US. Bulbs can be found blooming in open areas below 7500
feet. Dichelostemma capitatum can be propagated by seed sown in the
fall, or more easily by dividing the bulbs. Almost inevitably there
will be some of the little bulblets left behind. Blue Dicks can
bloom within 2 years of seeding. Dichelostemma capitatum has a long
history of being collected for food. More
