Camassia are captivating flowers. Often overshadowed by showier spring blooms such as tulips and narcissi, their delicate spires of blue, white or, occasionally, pink star-like flowers are a spectacular sight grown en masse, appearing as a hazy, colored cloud. These bulbs work well planted in wild areas amongst long grass, along the edges of woodland or grouped together in a border.
Among the best spring bulbs to plant in fall, camassias also known as wild hyacinth, camas or quamash are robust, hardy plants that will cope with soil conditions that most other bulbs struggle with. For very little effort they reward with a long-lasting display and also make fantastic cut flowers.
