Camassia esculenta 'Quamash', commonly known as quamash, is a bulbous perennial producing strap-shaped green leaves from which rise tall, elegant stems bearing dense spikes of star-shaped blue flowers in late spring. The flowers create a striking vertical display and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
The plant is ecologically valuable as a nectar source and adds architectural interest to borders, meadows, and naturalistic plantings. Its upright habit and vivid flower spikes make it particularly effective in wildlife gardens, prairie-style plantings, and damp, well-drained borders.
