Description Fine Print
 
Camassia quamash (syn. C. esculenta) is a gorgeous true blue BC native with starry lily-like flowers on slender stems in spring. It is a native of garry oak meadows and can take winter moisture and summer dry soils. It will go dormant by summer. Camas lily was an important food crop of the coastal First Nations. The consistency when cooked is like a gummy potato.
