RE: Camassia

Cheryl,
 You can't go wrong with Camassia.  They are a beautiful blue and will
naturalize and make a nice stand over time.

Hi All,

I have been eying adding one or more of the Camassia family to the
garden.  Everything I've read says they like damp - which is good
since where I want to put them tends to be very damp.  ( I think my
lower lawn was a vernal pond before the developer came along - we
live with this very happily.)

I have a couple of questions
1. Do they survive damp feet in winter?
2. Can they be grown in full sun?
3. Are they worth growing, my only knowledge is strictly from
books/magazines?

Zimmerman and McClure have a nice selection of them and I have always
been happy with the quality.

So do I go for it?

Cheryl
