Ideally suited to naturalised planting schemes including wildflower meadows or grassland where the soils are reliably moist (but not waterlogged), Camassia quamash will also make a handsome addition to the herbaceous border, where its bright blue flowers and greyish green leaves will add colour and structure in late spring and early summer.
Plant the bulbs 8cm (3in) deep and 20cm (8in) apart in big groups in the autumn. Try to plant them where they will remain for several years as they resent being moved.
Keep well watered during dry spells and in cold regions, apply a generous layer of mulch in autumn.
