    Camassia leichtlinii 'Blue Candle' plant details

    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Camassia leichtlinii 'Blue Candle' has elegant, extra long spires covered with masses of star-shaped light blue flowers with glittering yellow anthers. This is a larger and more stately species than C. quamash. Native from BC to southern California. Camassia grow in winter-wet soils that dry out in summer which means they will be tolerant of clay-heavy garden soils.
