Camassia leichtinii Alba

Creamy white star-shaped flowers form a loose pyramid, at the top of a tall stem in April & May. Camassia l. Alba will form clumps and gradually spread so plant them somewhere they can naturalise happily and be left to die down naturally after they flower. Camassia leichtinii can be found in the mountain meadows of north western USA in full sun but they will also do well in part shade. Grow in moist but well-drained, fertile, humus-rich soil with some protection from hard frosts, a layer of mulch will help Camassia to overwinter successfully.
