White Flower Farm Camassia Blue Heaven

Yes, Camassia 'Blue Heaven' is an excellent choice for damp sites. Unlike many other bulbs that rot in soggy soil, this variety is remarkably tolerant of winter wet and thrives in moisture-retentive areas.

These bulbs are considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, the foliage and blooms of this variety are generally avoided by deer.

Like most spring-blooming bulbs, Camassia should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows the roots to establish themselves during the cooler months before the plant emerges in late spring.

They are quite versatile and perform well in full sun to part shade. If you live in a region with very hot summers, providing some afternoon shade can help extend the life of the blooms.

No, these are hardy perennials in zones 5-9 and can be left in the ground year-round. They will naturalize and return each spring, often multiplying over time.

These bloom in May and June, which makes them a perfect bridge between the end of the daffodil season and the arrival of summer perennials. Their tall, straight stems add vertical interest just as early spring flowers fade.
