{"product_id":"camassia-bollen-leichtlinii-mix","title":"Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix are bulbs of the camassia, or quamash, in blue and white. Along tall, straight stems dozens of loose, star-shaped flowers open in a slender spike. The plants grow to about 80 to 100 centimetres tall. Camassia is strong and hardy and one of the few bulbs that also tolerates moist soil well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulbs are size 12\/14, which makes them fairly large. They look beautiful in a perennial border, can be naturalised in grass or under trees and provide long stems for the vase. With 5 bulbs you plant one striking clump or a large pot, with 10 bulbs a group in the border. With 20 or 40 bulbs you create a blue and white strip in the grass or a broad band under trees; allow 8 to 12 bulbs per square metre. Combine them with other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-be\/collections\/flower-bulbs\"\u003eflower bulbs\u003c\/a\u003e, such as Spanish bluebells, which flower just before the camassia.

With a soil temperature below 10 °C the bulbs form roots while the rest of the bulb stays dormant. December is fine too, provided the ground is frost-free. The winter cold sets flowering in motion, so planting in spring will not give flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen do the Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix flower?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix flower in May and June, right in the gap between the last tulips and the first summer flowers. The flowers on a spike open from the bottom upwards, so one stem stays in flower for about three weeks. In a pot or a warm spot they start a little earlier, after a cool spring later. In a place they like, the clumps slowly spread and flower more abundantly every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and tips Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant these large bulbs about 10 to 15 centimetres deep, roughly two to three times their height, with 15 to 20 centimetres between them. Camassia grows in almost any garden soil, including heavy clay, as long as the spot does not become bone-dry in summer. For a pot, choose a deep, roomy model with drainage holes and gravel at the bottom; take a look at our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/green-bubble.com\/en-be\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e for this. Cut off the spent stems and leave the foliage until it is yellow. A dose of bulb fertiliser in spring helps the clumps on poor soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamassia likes soil that stays moist in spring and copes better with wet feet than most bulbs. In the garden there is usually nothing to do, apart from watering in a dry spring. A pot dries out faster: keep the soil evenly moist during growth and flowering. After flowering the soil may become a little drier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartial shade or partial sun is ideal, for example at the edge of a group of trees or in a border that gets sun for part of the day. In full shade the spikes become sparser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAre the Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix toxic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix are not toxic, which makes them a safe choice for a garden with children or pets. Still, keep the bulbs out of reach of pets and young children before planting, as they are not meant to be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow will my Camassia bulbs Leichtlinii mix be shipped?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour bulbs are carefully packed and shipped.
