Camassia leichtlinii 'Alba'

Grow Camassia in a sunny or partially shaded position in fertile, moist, well-drained soil, avoiding areas which become water-logged. Plant Camassia bulbs approximately 10cm (4") deep and 20cm (8") apart. Camassia plants resent disturbance so are best planted in undisturbed borders or grassy areas, where they can be left to naturalise. For a natural look try casting Quamash bulbs across the lawn or planting area and plant them where they land.

Camassia plants require little maintenance but in winter, will benefit from a dry mulch, such as straw or bark chips, to protect them from hard frosts. If growing Camassia in grassy areas allow the foliage to yellow and die back completely before mowing. Avoid moving them as this may delay the development of these colourful Camassia flowers.
