Impressive blooms by their pruning and it's the 10th of May 2019, they start to flower, the colour is magnificent and indeed reminiscent of that of the wisteria.

Description

Camassia Zwanenburg Wisteria Blue, is a perennial that comes back stronger every year. It forms beautiful, generous clumps composed of long deciduous leaves. They are lanceolate in shape. From May to June, floral spikes composed of numerous double star-shaped flowers appear. They are a azure blue and measure 3 cm (1in) in diameter.

This Zwanenburg Wisteria Blue variety succeeds Camassia leichtlinii. Native to America, it was used by Native Americans as a food plant thanks to its bulb. At maturity, it reaches a height of 70 cm (28in).

Camassia Wisteria Blue can be found in perennial borders, wild gardens, wet meadows, as well as near water features. You can also place it along the edges of your gardens. It is a good flower for bouquets. It has bulbs that are not eaten by rodents and can therefore be left in place.

Planting and care

Camassia Zwanenburg thrives in the sun or partial shade in a fertile, moist, humus-rich, and well-drained soil, such as in wet meadows or cool areas. Plant it in autumn at a depth of 10 cm (4in) and space the bulbs 15 cm (6in) apart. Water it sufficiently, regularly, but not excessively, to avoid plant rot due to stagnant moisture. Camassia naturalises very well when left undisturbed. Mulch in winter in regions with harsh winters. Once the flowers have faded, remove the flower stalks, leaving the stem. Also remove the foliage when it turns yellow. The perennial returns each year with increasing vigour and more abundant inflorescences. Aphids and slugs can attack Camassia, but they cause little damage as the plant is highly resistant.
