BELONGS TO THE HYACINTHACEAE FAMILY
Camassia is one of the special bulbous plants that comes into its own perfectly in a border, but is also recommended for under shrubs. The origin of most camassias lies in North America, where the bulbs served as food for Native Americans until this century, from which the name Camassia (derived from Quamash or Camass) was derived. In addition to nutrient-rich sandy soil, Camassia also thrives on heavier clay soil, as long as the soil does not remain too wet in winter.
