Description:Blue dicks brodiaea Dichelostemma capitatum: At the very least, populations that become overcrowded and show reduced vigor should be divided and separated. California Indians dug and continue to dig the corms before flowering, during flowering, or after seeding depending upon the tribe and individual family. It reproduces from seed and vegetative means in the form of corms. Space the corms one-inch apart. If the seeds are in pots, then move them in summer to a darker area, such as a carport or garage and keep a screen on them to keep out foraging animals.
