Camassia esculenta, Liliaceae
syn. Camassia quamash
Camassia is a decorative AND edible bulbous plant native to the West Coast. Its blue star-shaped flower spikes appear in late spring, amid clumps of lanceolate, grass-like leaves (Camassia can be naturalized on the grass in a damp meadow). Its bulbs, whose sweetness is reminiscent of chestnuts, are harvested in autumn and have traditionally delighted the local indigenous population. Unlike most other bulbs, Camassia doesn't like dry soil. It thrives in moist loams and even heavy clays. Ideally, the soil should be moist in spring and dry in summer. Hardy in zone 3. 30-50 cm tall.
10 bulbs. [available in Quebec and the rest of Canada only].

Plant bulbs from mid-July to late autumn, about an index finger deep, tip up, and every 7-12 cm first. In a few years' time, you'll be able to leave 20 cm between clumps... As with tulips, bulbs can overwinter in the ground. Prevent seeds from forming during the first summer. The plant will go dormant after flowering and the foliage will disappear: this is normal.
You can grow them in containers for the first year, feeding them occasionally with a liquid fertilizer solution. Keep the soil moist until after flowering. The bulbs can then be divided and transplanted in summer, when they are dormant.
