Wild Hyacinth Blue Heaven

The soft, blue flowers open late spring to early summer. The star shaped blooms unfurl on racemes 10-30cm long. Each flower is 5-7cm across. A stunning architectural choice.

The flowers are suitable for picking. As the blooms age, they curl inward, adding a deeper purple shade to the flower head.

The bright green, sword like foliage of Camassia `Blue Heaven` grows 20-60cm long.

Camassia x leichtlinii `Blue Heaven` is easy to grow and in the right conditions will multiply well.

Plant Indian Hyacinths in humus rich, moist, well drained soil. They thrive in a full sun to semi shade location. Water in well and keep moist in active growth. It is native to damp meadow areas of North America, there the bulbs were cooked and eaten by the Native Americans.

Indian Hyacinths are suitable for borders, rockeries, by streams or ponds and grass or meadow planting. The bulbs are long lasting and will gradually multiply. The bulbs are best left to naturalise and should only be lifted as they become overcrowded.

Indian Hyacinths are also known as Great Camas or Quamash.
