Toothed onion is a small wild onion native to southern California's deserts and mountains, grown from a bulb with pink, tooth-tipped flowers. It is a species, not a commonly grown garden plant, so it needs a dry, well-drained spot that mimics its native habitat.

It is endemic to southern California, where it grows in the western Mojave Desert, the adjacent Tehachapi Mountains, the southern Sierra Nevada, and the Palomar Mountains.
