FAQs

When is the best time to plant these bulbs?

Camassia 'leichtlinii Alba' should be planted in the autumn while the soil is still workable.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

Plant the bulbs at a depth of 10-15cm.

Do they need full sun?

They thrive in both full sun and partial shade.

Are they harmful to pets?

Camassia bulbs can be toxic if ingested, so it is recommended to keep them away from curious pets.

Can I grow these in containers?

Yes, they can be grown in deep containers, provided you use high-quality, moisture-retentive compost and ensure the pot does not dry out.

Should I feed the plants?

Adding a balanced organic fertilizer at the time of planting or as shoots appear in early spring can help boost performance.

Troubleshooting

Poor flowering in the second year

Ensure the foliage was allowed to yellow and wither naturally after the first season so the bulb could store energy.

Bulbs rotting in the ground

Check soil drainage; while they like moisture, they cannot tolerate being waterlogged for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, plant your Camassia 'leichtlinii Alba' bulbs in the autumn. Choose a site with fertile, moisture-retentive soil in either full sun or partial shade. Space bulbs approximately 10-15cm apart and at a depth of 10-15cm. Ensure the soil remains moist during the spring growth phase. Once flowering has finished, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this ensures the bulb stores enough energy for the following year. Avoid cutting back the green leaves too early, as this can weaken the bulb for the next season.
