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.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
