Utah in bloom
Utah's official flower is the sego lily (1911). Meet it, then explore 109 Utah wildflowers and garden favorites by bloom month.
Sego lily
Calochortus nuttallii
Named Utah's official state flower in 1911 (Utah Code § 63G-1-601). Utah's pioneers ate sego lily bulbs when food ran short, which is part of why it was chosen. In Utah, most flowering sightings come in May–July.

Utah bloom calendar
Show the full bloom calendar (flowers with 15+ Utah flowering records, earliest bloomers first)
Darker = more flowering sightings that month. Based on iNaturalist research-grade observations in Utah marked “Flowering,” as of October 17, 2026. Garden flowers have few records because research-grade data leaves out planted ones.
How we picked these flowers
We started from iNaturalist's research-grade sightings in Utah, most-observed first, left out grasses, sedges, trees and other plants with tiny or wind-pollinated flowers (plus poison ivy), kept at most three species per genus, and added Utah's official flowers and popular garden flowers that iNaturalist users record growing in Utah. Every flower needs a CC0 or CC BY photo.
Rare plant list: Utah has no state law listing endangered or threatened plants, so we show NatureServe's Utah ranks instead.
Invasive plant list: Utah noxious weed list (Utah Admin. Code R68-9-3)
