Product Information

Full details

The Thompson and Morgan Camassia leichtlinii 'Alba' is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to introduce vertical elegance to damp, meadow-style borders or naturalistic garden settings. These bulbs reward you with striking, creamy-white star-shaped blooms on tall, upright spires in late spring, offering a sophisticated contrast to traditional garden colors. While they are a resilient and recurring perennial, they strictly require reliably moist soil to thrive, making them unsuitable for dry, sandy, or drought-prone locations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Planting Time: Plant bulbs in autumn for the best results, as this allows the roots to establish before winter dormancy.
  2. Soil Requirements: Ensure the soil is rich, fertile, and remains moist; consider adding organic matter to sandy soils to help retain water.
  3. Planting Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately 10-15 cm deep, spacing them 15-20 cm apart to allow adequate room for growth.
  4. Sun Exposure: These plants perform best in full sun or partial shade, provided the moisture levels are consistent.
  5. Maintenance: Leave the foliage to die back naturally after the flowers have faded. This allows the plant to store energy in the bulb for the following year's growth.
