Camassia Scilloides

Wild Hyacinth (Camassia Scilloides)Asparagus Family This striking flower features ombre-colored buds that transition from deep tones to lighter shades, with pale purple (occasionally white or blue) flowers and vibrant yellow anthers. Its dramatic coloration makes it a standout in any landscape. Preferring partial sun, this plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter but can tolerate a range of light conditions and average moisture levels. It enters dormancy in late summer, re-emerging in late winter or early spring. The nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and flies. Following pollination, small seed capsules filled with shiny, black seeds develop. Over time, it establishes itself gradually through natural seed propagation.
