Camassia quamash

Published: May 2010

Originating from Western America they are perennial plants and flower from May to June.  The flowers produce both male and female organs and are pollinated by bees, and are noted for attracting wildlife. Their six-petaled flowers vary in colour from pale lilac or white to deep purple or blue-violet. Camassia grow in the wild in great numbers and sometimes colour whole meadows. Camassia quamash can be found near the Taxodium Swamp.
