Description

Camassia quamash, also known as Quamash, is a shorter species with deep violet-blue star-shaped flowers in spring. Naturally adapted to moist meadows and light woodland, it thrives in soils that retain some moisture in spring but dry out in summer. Ideal for naturalising in lawns, wildflower strips, or woodland gardens, this species adds richness to ecological planting palettes. Its compact habit makes it especially useful for smaller-scale or mixed perennial schemes, and its blooms are a magnet for early pollinators. Long valued in North American landscapes, it’s increasingly favoured by European horticulturists and designers seeking diversity in bulb-based design.
