(Indian Hyacinth, prairie lily)
Original spring bloomer that comes from America. Beautiful star-shaped blue flowers. Grows every year.
The Camassia comes with 5-6 species originally from the mountains and prairies of the western part of North America. Native Americans ate the cooked bulbs, which taste a bit like a potato, but when cooked resemble a rubber ball. The range of the Camassia extends from Lake Erie down to California and overlaps in the south with the area of the Calochortus, which was also eaten by Native Americans. The Latin name Camassia originated from the pronunciation of the Native Americans who called the edible bulbs quamash. Additionally, the Native word camas means fruit.
'Leichtlinii' is named after the German plant collector Max Leichtlin.
