Description
If you're thinking of planting camassia bulbs, you're already ahead of most other gardeners. Although they might not be the best-known flowering bulbs, they put on a marvelous show and make good cut flowers. But if you want something that's truly rare and special, Camassia leichtlinii 'Pale Pink' is the one to choose. It's certainly not a plant that you'll find just anywhere, but at Farmer Gracy we work hard to find plants that will make your garden a stand-out success. These graceful beauties will do just that. Combine these pink camassias with late-spring tulips, or plant them on their own - you'll enjoy a lengthy flowering time - plus bragging rights!
Since these Camassia leichtlinii 'Pale Pink' bulbs are so rare, we advise you to order early to ensure you'll be able to get your hands on them. We'll dispatch your bulbs when planting season comes around.
