Harvest Firecracker Flower

Brodiaea coronaria

Overview

Harvest Firecracker Flower (Brodiaea coronaria) is a perennial wildflower native primarily to California's coastal mountain ranges and the Sierra Nevada foothills. Growing in grass-packed areas, these vivid blooms can be identified by their upright, narrow stalks topped with clusters of bright, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, and yellow. These flowers thrive in sunny, dry meadows, often blooming in the late spring and summer, when their intense colors form an eye-catching backdrop. The plant's seed capsules, which resemble small firecrackers, mature in mid-summer before splitting open to spread their seeds, ensuring the continuation of this beautiful wildflower.
