Camassia leichtlinii

Pick up only until dormant. Too large to freight

Prefers generally moist, fertile soil, in full sun to partial sunlight. Not eaten by stock so great in a field with animals. Easy to naturalise. They clump well and will grow from seed.  Each stalk contains  many six-petaled, 3 cm, star-shaped pale to deep lavender-blue flowers with yellow anthers and whisper-green centres. The flowers open sequentially from the bottom so a good length of flowering time. One of the later spring bulbs to bloom. Stunning planted in solo drifts, as there are a variety of shades both with different bulbs and as the inflorescences age. Used in all the new wave perennial plantings for spring impact. I use them as a layer of later blooming bulbs over cyclamen hederifolium, snowdrops, daffodils and more. Plant deeply, but if not they drag them selves to the correct depth anyway. 40cm H. Price per bulb/pot.  Easy to bulk, so hard to dig. Plant at least 5cm deep. I find them all the way down to 15cm!
