White Flower Farm Camassia leichtlinii

Yes, Camassia leichtlinii is an excellent choice for damp sites. Unlike many other bulbs that rot in soggy conditions, this variety is specifically noted for its tolerance of moist soil and winter wetness.

These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish their root systems during the cooler months before they emerge to bloom in late spring.

As a reliable perennial, 'Blue Danube' will return annually if planted in a location with sun to part shade and well-drained to moist soil. Simply allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to ensure the bulb stores enough energy for the following season.

Yes, Camassia is naturally deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, these are rarely bothered by deer or rodents, making them a low-maintenance option for gardens prone to wildlife visitors.

Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep and space them 5 to 6 inches apart. This spacing allows the plants to form the attractive, dense clumps they are known for as they mature.

Because they bloom in late spring, they are perfect for filling the 'gap' between early spring bulbs and summer perennials. Their tall, 30-36 inch spikes work best when planted in groups or drifts toward the middle or back of a border.
