Family:  Liliaceae
Author:  Lemmon.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1   Mature Width:  0.25

Habitat:  Wet banks and boggy places, 1200 - 3100 metres in California[71].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open free-draining humus-rich loamy soil with its roots in the shade and its head in the sun[200]. Stoloniferous[200], the bulbs should be planted 10 - 12cm deep in a light, gritty, well-drained soil with added leafmold in sun or light shade[143]. Early to mid autumn is the best time to plant out the bulbs in cool temperate areas, in warmer areas they can be planted out as late as late autumn[200]. The plant should be protected against rabbits and slugs in early spring. If the shoot tip is eaten out the bulb will not grow in that year and will lose vigour[200].
