Camassia Leichtlinii Subsp. Suksdorfii | 2 Litre Pot

Loose spires of blue or lilac, star-shaped flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist but well-drained, fertile, humus-rich, soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) Loose spires of blue or lilac, star-shaped flowers appear on top of tall stems in late spring. Originally from damp meadowlands in North America, this bulbous perennial is perfect for naturalising in a wildflower meadow. It will happily grow in moist soil or partial shade as long as the soil doesn’t become waterlogged. Take advantage of its brief flowering season to brighten up a border before summer perennials take over. Garden care: Camassias prefer to be planted in the ground in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil and will tolerate heavier clay. Try to plant them where they will remain for several years as they resent being moved. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the crown in areas with hard frosts. Plants in pots may need to be protected from hard frosts by wrapping them with plant protection fleece or moving to a southerly wall or sheltered location if severe or prolonged cold weather is forecast.
