Camassia Quamash
M5204
Description
Camassia ‘Quamash’ produces striking spikes of brilliant-blue flowers from a bed of narrow foliage during May and June.
Perfect for naturalising in meadow and woodland areas, this bewitching beauty also adds a pop of colour to informal, mixed borders in contemporary and traditional gardens. The bulbs are happy in damp soil and dappled shade, as well as in full sun.
Elegant Camassias make great cut flowers, thanks to their straight, slender stems and long-lasting spires of star-shaped blooms. ‘Quamash’ is more petite than some cultivars, standing 35cm tall, yet is still useful for adding a delicate flourish of blue to floral arrangements and vases.
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.
