Plant Type:

BULBS

Camassia leichtlinii 'Sacajawea' – Cream variegated emerald green ribbon foliage is topped with large, lovely ivory white flowers on tall wands in late spring sometimes with the barest infusion of green. This is a bulb that is very happy in damp conditions; constant moisture is not a problem and perfectly at home with Dodecatheon meadia and Primula 'Redfield Hybrid'. Plant Quamash in fertile, moist loam sited in full to half sun. It's memorably beautiful. Ours are offered pot grown with multiple bulbs in each pot.
