The early impact of the bulb quickly fades after flowering making Camassia a good addition for early seasonal colour in herbaceous or mixed borders as part of successional planting.
Cultivation tips: Camassia is bulb planted perennial that returns year on year, being well suited to planting in drifts in beds or planted in masses and allowed to naturalise in spring meadow. Bulbs are planted in fertile well drained soil in the autumn (oct - dec) and flower the following spring, but potted specimens can be planted through the year. If planted in meadow the foliage must be allowed to die back so avoid cutting before July. Camassia cultivation is similar to that for the ornamental Allium group and bulbs are often planted together for spring and early summer impact. Camassia may also be planted in containers or pots.
