Bring into the garden to create a relaxed, natural atmosphere. Not grow as tall as its cousin, Cusickii, but can reach a height of 45 to 60cm. Flowers June. Top size 6cm+ bulbs supplied.
How to Grow Camassia Bulbs:
1. In the Fall, choose a spot that is mostly sunny or has only partial shade.
2. Planting camassia bulbs is fairly simple. Bulbs look much like a small onion, with wiry roots growing out of one site and a spike on the other. Plant with the roots pointing down and the spike pointing up.
4. Follow the rule of thumb of planting bulbs that bulbs need at least 2 times their height of soil above them. Dig a 4-5 inch hole, drop the bulb into it and cover with soil.
5. Regarding spacing between bulbs, if planting in beds, leave approx 8-10 inches between each bulb. If you are planting in containers, you can cluster them a little closer together.
After planting, water the bulbs well and let them settle. They will bloom in early summer and then rest with less water and dying leaves. You can tidy up or let nature take its course.
