Finishing camassia with emerging irises. They might overlap by a day or two this year; we’ll see. It’s funny when you’re ordering plants you haven’t seen in person and don’t pay attention to the details in the listing — I’d originally bought camassia bulbs thinking they were like the spring ephemeral bulbs, snowdrops and chionodoxa and scilla. I was expecting tiny and wee.
Imagine my surprise when these giants showed up! 🙂 They typically grow 24″ – 30″ tall; these are waist high on me. Fabulous punctuation (like exclamation points!) in the mid-spring garden. Plant as bulbs in fall.
The native wildflower version grows to about 2′ tall:
