Also called Blue Umber Lily, Blue Lily, Wild Hyacinth, Douglas' Brodiaea, Large Flower Triteleia, Large Flowered Triteleia, Howell's Triteleia
Largeflower triteleia is a hardy North American wildflower that grows from a corm and produces clusters of blue to white funnel-shaped flowers in spring. It is grown for its showy blooms and does best in full sun with sharp drainage and a dry summer rest.
Triteleia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant known by the common names largeflower triteleia, largeflower tripletlily, and wild hyacinth.
Triteleia grandiflora is native to western North America from British Columbia to extreme northern California, eastward into Idaho, Montana and northern Utah, with disjunct populations occurring in Wyoming and Colorado. Its habitat includes grassland, sagebrush, woodlands, and forests.
The corm provides food for various wild rodents and livestock, and Native Americans and settlers also found them edible.
