Camassia Cusickii Camassia Cusickii

Add a graceful, natural charm to your garden with Camassia 'Cusickii', a striking variety known for its tall spires of soft lavender-blue flowers. Each bloom spike is made up of numerous star-like flowers, arranged in a loose, vertical formation that brings lightness and movement to borders, wildflower plantings, or damp meadows.

Every individual flower measures around 5cm in diameter, with gently recurved petals and contrasting golden stamens that create a subtle yet captivating display. Reaching up to 80cm in height, 'Cusickii' adds elegant vertical interest in mid to late spring and is particularly beautiful when planted in groups or drifts.

This perennial bulb is also a reliable choice for naturalising, returning year after year with little effort. Camassias thrive in full sun with moist, free-draining soil, but will also do well in partial shade with slightly drier conditions, making them a versatile and low-maintenance addition to many garden settings.

Create a soft, naturalistic look with Camassia 'Cusickii' — perfect for adding height, colour, and texture to your spring garden.

How to Plant Camassia

  • Find a location with well-drained soil.
  • Camassia like to receive full sun if the soil is moist.
  • In slightly dried soils, Camassia can be grown in areas that receive 4-5 hours of direct sunlight.
  • Plant the Camassia bulbs 8-10cm (3-4") deep and 8-10cm (3-4") apart.
  • The bulbs are rounded, with small pointy ends. Plant the points facing upwards.
  • After planting, water the Camassia well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Buds will be visible in late Spring and it will produce flowers in early Summer.

Care Instructions

How to Care for Camassia

  • For best naturalising results, leave the plants undisturbed; they'll be fine for years in the same spot.
  • After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.
  • By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
  • Camassia prefer to be undisturbed. These are not the best plants to use for containers.
