Red Dichelostemma Ida-Maia | Firecracker Flower
Scarlet-soaked bunches of showy, tubular flowers and long, elegant stems are what you can expect from Dichelostemma Ida-Maia. Each dangling, ornate bloom has a greenish-yellow tip that curves back to unveil a luminous, white underside, which pollinators can’t resist! It’s true — these boastful beauties draw just as much attention as July 4th firecrackers!
Bright green, strappy leaves appear during the rainy season, followed by the 16-25″ flower spikes in late Spring. Easy to grow and delightfully low-maintenance, this spectacular California native wildflower will slowly spread to make a 3′ mound once settled. Add a little spark of joy to your gardens and containers with Dichelostemma Ida-Maia!
