Camassia

 

They are of easy culture, quite hardy and do best in soil that is not too dry. A damp semi-wild grassy area or a bank near a stream would make an ideal location. It will, however, grow in any good garden soil in sun or light shade. Leave bulbs undisturbed until crowding makes dividing necessary in autumn. Feeding is usually not needed, but an application of compost or old manure on poor soils in autumn will be beneficiary. Plant in sun or light shade, 15cm deep, 20cm apart.
