Camassia Leichtlinii Alba
Commonly known as Wild Hyacinth, this cultivar produces tall, showy spires with 2", creamy white, star-shaped blossoms and mauve anthers. The large racemes are long-lasting, blooming from the bottom upward. Camassia is a sought-after genus since it naturalizes well and blooms mid-season, when many other bulbs are spent or have not yet begun. As a native to the U.S. Pacific Northwest, it prefers moist, fertile soil. Deer- and rodent-resistant.
