Camassia Blue Candle
M5210
Description
Large, eye-catching spikes of lavender-blue, star-shaped flowers rise up during May and June on Camassia ‘Blue Candle.’
This statuesque cultivar produces stems up to a metre in height and is perfect for naturalising in a large border, or through long grass in dappled shade. Moist, well-drained soil is a must for Camassias. Plant the bulbs in groups or swathes for a generous display of soft summer blues.
The bee-friendly florets open from the base of stems upwards, giving a long-lasting display. Beautiful planted next to early summer Alliums for a harmonious and attractive display of colour and shape.
Care Guide
Thrives in wet and heavy soil, although prolonged water-logging 4 throughout the winter can lead to rotting. Requires sun or partial shade. Plant 10cm (4”) deep, 15cm (6”) apart.
