Camassia quamash

0 offers

Small Camas (Camassia quamash) is a perennial plant native to the North American high-elevation meadows. It is a fragile-looking yet tough plant with bright green, spoon-shaped leaves and small, bell-shaped white flowers. Small Camas is a low growing and slow-spreading bulb that grows about 10-30cm high. Its dense clusters of flowers give rise to a distinctive blue-violet hue in the early summer. The bulbs of the Small Camas were once an important food source for Indigenous Americans, and are still harvested and cooked as a traditional dish in some places. Its delicate beauty, cultural significance and ample ecological benefits keep it as a valuable addition to most gardens.
