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 camassia Blue Melody 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 10 cm deep, 15 cm apart.

T1922
Early Double Tulip ‘Belicia’ produces stems of multiple fancy blooms which will billow in the spring breeze like the plumes of a cavalier hat. The stunning feather-like petals of tulip 'Belicia' emerge in a soft shade of primrose yellow, edged in carmine, and fade to raspberry-rippled ivory.
