Miersia chilensis is a small bulbous perennial from central Chile in the daffodil and onion family, grown mainly by enthusiasts of Chilean bulbs. It is a geophyte that goes dormant, so the key to growing it is giving it a dry rest and free-draining soil.
Miersia chilensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is a perennial herb endemic to Chile, distributed between the Coquimbo and Araucanía regions. It is a diploid species with a karyotype of 2n=20, which is larger than other species of the genus (2n=12).
