Camassia Leichtlinii Alba
M5202
Description
June flowering, pure white Camassia ‘Leichtlinii Alba’ is a garden treasure, perfect for planting to sparkle in long, grassy areas of garden.
Star-like, glittering ivory florets are clustered along tall, strong stems, lasting for several weeks. Opening upwards from the base of their stems, the Camassia ‘Leichtlinii Alba’ blooms make wonderful, graceful cut flowers.
The bulbs of Camassias are most happy in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade and are ideal for naturalising in generous drifts through the garden. Early-summer Alliums make brilliant bedfellows for Camassias, the contrast between colour and shape work well in both modern and traditional planting schemes.
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.

Cyclamen Cilicium produces beautifully silver-patterned foliage that forms a neat ground-hugging carpet beneath delicate nodding flowers in soft pink and blush shades. Flowering in autumn as the garden begins to fade, the elegant blooms of Cyclamen Cilicium bring gentle colour and refined charm to shady borders, woodland gardens, and sheltered rockeries.
Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, this graceful cyclamen thrives in well-drained soil with light shade, where its decorative leaves provide long-lasting interest beyond the flowering season.
