Calochortus tolmiei (Tolmie’s Cats Ear/Star-Tulip) Seed Packet WW

This little lily is so cute and fuzzy you’re going to want to pet it! Unique and gorgeous – flower stems carrying anywhere from one to several blooms rise up from blue-green, lance-like foliage. “Furry” petals vary from white to light-lavender with purple accented bases. This species occurs in a variety of habitats but always needs good drainage and likes to dry out a bit in summer. This is a key nectar species for Fenders Blue Butterfly and Taylor’s Checkerspot.
