Conanthera is a genus of small bulbous plants with small panicles of blue, purple or white and purple flowers. Propagation is by offsets or seed. All species are native to Chile , but there is an old 18th-Century report of C. bifolia occurring in colonial Peru[3] as well. This could possibly be attributed to changes in boundaries between the two countries, as modern sources list the species as endemic to Chile .[2][4]
