Camassia leichtlinii ‘Alba’ (White Leichtlin’s Camas) [20 Seeds]

$4.50

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-sowers only, because they require patience while waiting for germination and then while waiting for them to reach flowering size. Sow 1/4 inch deep in fall to early winter and set the pot outside, in a spot protected from mice, to germinate when conditions are right in spring.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description

Growing bulbs from seed takes a bit of patience, but it’s an interesting project and a way to potentially have a good number of bulbs for the price of one seed packet. White Leichtlin’s camas (Camassia leichtlinii ‘Alba’) is worth the wait, with racemes (spike-like clusters) of starry white flowers in late spring, on 2- to 3-foot-tall stems over slender, green, basal leaves. It goes dormant by midsummer. If you allow seeds to mature on the plants, they may self-sow and create a nice patch. The species is native to western North America and thrives in moist-soil sites, where bulbs like alliums and tulips may be prone to rot. Full sun to light shade. Zones 3 to 8.

Collected in late June 2023. At least 20 seeds. Unknown ecotype. Shipping to US addresses only.
