Camassia esculenta quamash

This plant bears lovely violet-blue flowers. It naturalizes easily, will tolerate moist or dry soil conditions and deer do not like them. Plant in large groups for maximum effect.

Native to North America, Camasses are very hardy and do will grow in any normal to wet ground. Because they naturalize well, try planting a few in grassy areas, near ponds or in lightly wooded areas of the garden.
