Don’t be deterred from this magnificent perennial bulb due to it’s long name – Camassia leichtlinii subsp. suksdorfii Caerulea Group (a bit of a tongue twister!) produces sophisticated slimline spires of violet-blue blooms in summer, rising up from the neat foliage below. Makes for a superb addition in boggy or damp border, as well as naturalised in lawns or meadows for a cottage garden, woodland look. A great gap filler between spring bulbs and summer perennial plants. Height: 130cm (51″). Spread: 10cm (4″).
Growing Information
Plant Camassia bulbs at a depth of around 15cm (6in) in reliably moist, fertile soil in sun or semi shade. Avoid planting them in soil which becomes waterlogged over winter. If necessary, improve the soil prior to planting by adding plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost.
