Camassias are beautiful, tough plants that thrive where most cannot, and they have the added benefit of flowering during a slow time in the garden, after the spring bulbs have subsided and before the summer perennials come on. 'Sacajawea’ sends up a spray of variegated, sword-like green foliage edged in cream. Upright flower stems follow, their tops capped by a cluster of star-shaped, ivory florets with traces of apple green. The florets open in sequence from bottom to top. Plants naturalize well and, while they may have been on Lewis and Clark’s menu, deer and varmints tend to avoid them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCamassia\u003c\/i\u003e is a small American genus of bulbous plants that produce long, straight stems bearing dozens of small, star-shaped flowers in varying shades of blue, cream, and white. Unlike most bulbs, Camassias are quite tolerant of winter wet and will prosper in damp sites where Tulips and Lilies will not survive. Camassias flower in late spring -- a crucial time for the garden -- most Daffodils are gone, but the full glory of June perennials still lies ahead. The leaves of Camassias turn yellow and disappear in summer, making room for annuals and other plants that will gladly fill in for the rest of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on Camassia care, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"6 bulbs","offer_id":47979968856217,"sku":"0100211-F","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/46132.jpg?v=1782075449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/products\/camassia-leichtlinii-sacajawea","provider":"White Flower Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
