Camassia leichtlinii, or Great Camas, is a striking native bulb that transforms spring landscapes with towering spikes of star-shaped blue-violet flowers. This pollinator magnet attracts native bees and butterflies while supporting local ecosystems. Thriving in our moist wet springs, Great Camas adapts beautifully to rain gardens, meadows, and naturalized spaces—even tolerating some seasonal wetness where it is allowed to dry out in summer. Its cultural heritage runs deep with Pacific Northwest Indigenous communities who traditionally valued its edible bulbs. Plant this resilient native for ecological beauty that brings color and pollinators to your garden while celebrating regional history. Note: Plants go dormant after flowering, so plan accordingly in your landscape design.
