Camassia quamash 'Blue Melody'

Bulbous perennial native to our Columbia River Gorge; sends up 18" BLUE flower spikes in late spring and early summer that really stand out against the grassy leaves bordered in cream! This can be a naturlizer in damp meadows at pond edges…it wants wet spring, damp early summer then dry late summer and fall. Camassia will thrive in clay soils and partners well with prairie grasses. Sun to light shade. Edible tubers (gophers like them too!)
