Camassia Silk River
M5215
Description
Graceful ivory blooms of Camassia Silk River gather along tall spires, star-shaped and satin-like. These late-spring flowers sway gracefully, catching the light like water over stone.
A soft, ethereal presence for borders and wildflower drifts. Camassia Silk River's native charm meets garden refinement in this creamy-white marvel blooming reliably through May and June.
The camassia blooms sway gently above the border, catching the light beautifully and bringing movement and softness to the late-spring garden. Perfect for wildflower-style planting, naturalistic borders, and moisture-retentive soils, this refined variety combines native charm with a calm, ethereal presence.
Care Guide
