Add late-spring elegance to your garden with Camassia Leichtlinii 'Caerulea', a striking perennial known for its tall, spiky flower stems and graceful star-shaped blooms. Flowering slightly later than Camassia cusickii—typically in June—this variety brings a refreshing burst of lavender-blue to the garden when many spring flowers are beginning to fade.

Each towering flower spike can bear over 100 individual star-like blossoms, which open sequentially from the base upwards, creating a dynamic display over several weeks. The flowers are larger than those of Cusickii, reaching up to 10cm in diameter, making them particularly eye-catching in borders, wildflower meadows, or naturalised areas.

Camassia Leichtlinii 'Caerulea' thrives best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil, but it is also adaptable to partial shade where soil is drier. Its preference for damp conditions makes it ideal for planting near ponds, streams, or in moisture-retentive beds. Hardy, low-maintenance, and pollinator-friendly, this is a must-have for gardeners seeking beauty, structure, and seasonal interest.

Bring a touch of wild elegance to your garden with Camassia Leichtlinii 'Caerulea'.

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.
