Tritelia (Brodiaea) laxa ‘Rudy’
This gorgeous California native, 12 to 18” tall, features starry, milky-blue flowers contrasted with vivid indigo mid-veins accompanied by 14” tall, grassy foliage. Umbels of 2” elongated flowers pop up in late Spring and last well into mid-Summer. ‘Rudy’ will naturalize readily in most soils and a bit of regular moisture during the growing season will bring you a fuller display each year They will grow in any fertile, reasonably well-drained soil with winter and spring moisture and summer dryness. Plant in masses or among bright perennials like Gaillardia, in full sun to light shade (insufficient sunlight will result in lax, horizontal stems). Bloom time in horticultural zone 5 is May/June. Plant 4″ deep and 3″ to 4″ apart. Also makes a fabulous cut flower! Hardy to Zone 5a.
