Camassia leichtlinii Semiplena

A tall tower of full petalled, almost fluffy looking, cream coloured flowers. A sterile form of the cream flowered plant that is the species: C. leichtlinii alba. But the benefit of sterility for gardeners is a long and late flowering season. They grow better where they receive more sun than shade and are better still where the soils are damp all through spring and early summer. Brown tips suggest that they have been too dry.

Planting Instructions

Camassia leichtlinii Semiplena should be planted about 4" (10cm) deep, 5-6" (12-15cm) apart in a humus-rich, moisture retentive soil, in either a sunny position or in half shade. They do better where they receive more sun than shade and better still where the soils are damp all through spring and early summer.
