Camassia 'Blue Heaven'

Icy blue blooms like those of ‘Blue Heaven’ are hard to come by. This cross between two Camassia species takes on the color of its cusickii parent while displaying the tighter flower form of C. leichtlinii. Lovely mixed with clouds of blue Forget-Me-Nots and purple Alliums.

This small American genus of bulbous plants produces long, straight stems bearing dozens of small, star-shaped flowers in varying shades of blue, cream, and white. Unlike most bulbs, Camassias are quite tolerant of winter wet and will prosper in damp sites. Camassias flower in late spring, a time when most Daffodils and Tulips are gone, but the full glory of June perennials still lies ahead.
