Timing and food-use notes
Not yet verified — no B.C. harvest months assigned. Weather, elevation and local conditions can change timing.
Verify the exact species, intended part and preparation with a qualified regional identifier. Months describe planning windows only.
Digging out bulbs, corms or whole roots removes or can kill the plant and can damage a patch. Leave wild plants in place unless access, stewardship and harvesting permissions are clear.
