Camassia looks great both as a single planting and as part of various compositions. This plant usually looks especially advantageous against the background of conifers. Excellent compatibility and the ability to get along with other plants have provided camassia with a fairly wide application in the field of landscape design.

Camassia blooms usually in June and the duration of flowering, depending on the species, is from 12 to 20 days. These flowers look great both on lawns and in bouquets, so they can decorate any garden and interior.
