Camassia Caerulea Bulbs

Camassia leichtlenii Caerulea has fabulous blue spring flowers to make your jaw drop. The tapered spires rise up to around 90cm, from lush green strap-like foliage, then the elegant star-shaped flowers begin to open along their length, starting from the bottom and gradually working their way to the tips in an explosion of heavenly lavender-blue. She really is the star of the late-spring border – as well as making a lovely cut flower for vases indoors.

Take a look at some more spring bulb varieties.

Growing Camassias

Plant your bulbs in autumn or winter, around 10-15cm deep, the pointy end up. They'll look best grown towards the middle of a border as, at 90cm, they're among the tallest of late-spring bulbs – although, happily, they won't need staking. Just let the leaves wither entirely before removing them, and cut back the faded flower spikes in summer. They do well in heavy soils, so clay is fine, in a sunny or semi-shaded spot (the flowers will last longer grown in a little shade). Ideally they like conditions to be damp in winter and spring and dry in summer. If you live in a really chilly spot, mulch well in autumn to protect the bulbs from hard frosts.

Planting Companions

These flowers make good underplanting of roses and are also very much at home in a damp meadow setting where the bulbs will naturalise and spread – a sea of camassias naturalised in lawn left to grow tall is a fabulous sight. Combine in a naturalistic setting like this with alliums and late-flowering tulips in pale pinks and plum tones. In a border, the lavender blue of this camassia looks wonderful with zesty lime green – think euphorbias and vibrant carex grasses.

Did you know?

Camassias are members of the asparagacea family, and have edible bulbs. They're native plants of western regions of the USA, where they inhabit the mountain meadows. Now that would be a sight worth travelling for!

Delivery: Our standard delivery charges are:

Small box (orders containing only seedlings or rooted cuttings) = £7.20 (inc VAT) per order.
Standard box (bareroot plants up to 1.2metres) = £11.40 (inc VAT) per order.
Large box (pots up to and including 7.5 litres) = £15.00 (inc VAT) per order.
Trees & hedging (bareroot plants and trees over 1.2 metres in height) = £19.80 (inc VAT) per order.
Orders delivered to Scotland and the Isle of Wight may incur a surcharge (calculated during checkout). This is applicable to ALL orders to these locations.
Pallets (for all orders of root balls, and large orders, a pallet price will be automatically applied at checkout) = £75.00 (inc VAT) per order.
If, for reasons of seasonality an order needs to be split, then we will charge for each delivery. If the whole order was eligible for free P&P then the second of the split orders will be delivered free of charge.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week in summer if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
