A drift of flowering bulbs

Camassia leichtlinii - Camas lily

Camassia leichtlinii

Camas lily

The flower heads of Camassia leichtlinii, the Camas lily, provide masses of blue, star-shaped flowers in May and June, and grow up to a metre tall. 

Best grown in areas where they can naturalise and remain undisturbed, they make a stunning display when planted en masse.

9,000 bulbs are planted on Riverside Walk.
