My understanding was that these plants only grow out west. Are you growing this in Illinois? If so, I'm now wondering if we can grow them here in Texas.
I grow 3 different ones in my garden here in central Illinois. Last spring blooming commenced in late April through mid May. As a matter of fact there are 2 camassias that grow wild in the state - C. scilloides and C. angusta.. Both grow naturally in moist prairies and open woodlands (the former is listed as occasional, the latter as state endangered.)
I'm also wondering if they could be grown in Texas! Lovely!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Hmmmm... I'm wondering if they would grow all the way down here & this far east????
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
jmorth said:I've noted sites that list a couple of species rated to Z9 & Z10. C. cusickii & C. leichtlinii respectively.
Thank you for that info.! I added C. cusickii to the db & added them both to my want list.
