Calochortus gunnisonii


A bold beauty on a slender stem with grass-like leaves. Beloved tulip-shaped, exotically colored gem of the mountains. Collected at 9-10,000' in the grass under Aspen trees.

Needs 45 days of moist stratification. Plant in fall or winter. Grows to 12". Grows in the Montane in full sun and dappled light.
