Description

Add natural, pollinator-friendly colour to the wilder corners of your garden with Camassia quamash. This really is a brilliant choice. Its one of the most adaptable, easy-going bulbs you’ll grow, and it ticks all the boxes for visual impact, resilience and long-term reward.

It starts early with long, narrow foliage that echoes the look of ornamental grasses, creating instant structure in mixed borders or informal settings. Then, come May, those grassy leaves give rise to tall spires of vivid blue, star-shaped flowers that stand upright and proud. Youll often see them used to add movement and height in meadow-style displays, where they look incredible woven through other bulbs or perennials.

They absolutely love a moist spot, so theyre ideal for planting near water features, damp borders, or in that shady part of the lawn that never dries out. But theyll also do well in regular borders too. Theyre tough, fully hardy and reliably return year after year, multiplying as they go. You dont need to fuss with staking or pruning, just plant and let them settle in.

Incredibly easy to combine, try growing alongside ornamental grasses, ferns or early perennials like geraniums and aquilegias for a soft, textural planting scheme that looks like it’s been there forever.

Supplied as 50 bulbs, size 6+, ready to plant in autumn.
