Camassia Blue Melody
M5208
Description
A striking Camassia with intense, deep-blue flowers and variegated foliage. ‘Blue Melody’ is a perfect choice of bulb to weave into a harmonious planting scheme of early summer blues.
A bed of grass-like gold and green, striped foliage appears during spring, from which the flower spikes emerge in May. Stems up to 35cm tall bear the star-shaped blooms, each with a beaded green eye and sprinkling of golden stamens in their centre.
Plant the bulbs in moist, well-drained soil, ideally through long grass or a border where they are sure to not be disturbed, providing a delightful swathe of hazy blue in May and June.
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.
