CAMAS

Product Description:

Camassia quamash Electric blue to indigo star shape flowers create a dramatic backdrop to the bright yellow anthers. One to three inflorescences emerge on a single stalk and tall raceme is excellent for cutting. This unique meadow bulb tolerates wetland conditions and deep shade in the spring, preferring to dry out later in the summer. Endemic to western North America and naturalizing abundantly. This native species was an essential food source for Indigenous people, producing sweet, edible bulbs when roasted. Hardy in zones 3–8.

I have planted plenty of Cammasia in my front lawn this year. Hoping they put up a great display in spring and naturalize over the years. Look forward to it

Camas!

I was curious to learn that it was grown in the Netherlands (according to the package) when it's a native plant here. Well, I've planted mine and will have to wait until next year to see it come up. I know it's a gorgeous flower so I'm looking forward to it blooming next spring.
