Brodiaea Bulb Gardening

Brody's Lily, the Brodiaea, is much better known, and has a number of popular names, such as Vegetable Fire-Cracker, Californian Hyacinth, and Crimson Satin Flower. It is also more than double the height of the Romulea. There are blue and purple kinds, too, all moderately hardy, wanting good sandy soil and sunshine, and blossoming from midsummer to Michaelmas. Plant in September, 3 or more inches deep, 6 inches apart, and lift and replant as usual.
