The perennial plant, growing from a bulb, is native to California and Oregon.[2]
Brodiaea californica is the largest species in the genus Brodiaea, reaching up to 30 in (76 cm) in height when in flower. The flowers, which are borne in late spring or early summer, are variable in colour, ranging from purple to white or occasionally pink.[6]
