Brodiaea jolonensis, commonly known as Chaparral Brodiaea, is a perennial herb that is native to the coastal mountain ranges, grasslands, and open woodlands of southern California and northern Baja California, including the Channel Islands. It typically grows to an inflorescence height of up to 6 inches tall, with striking blue-purple flowers that bloom on short pedicels from late spring to early summer. The flowers are showy and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Chaparral Brodiaea is adapted to a Mediterranean climate, with wet winters and dry summers.

Chaparral Brodiaea is valued for its ornamental flowers and is often used in native plant gardens, rock gardens, and as a border plant. It is relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal water once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping. It prefers well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy. Full sun to part shade is ideal for this plant to thrive. While it is generally free from serious pests and diseases, overwatering can lead to bulb rot. It is also important to note that Brodiaea jolonensis is not invasive and poses no significant threat when grown outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
