Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Maybelle, often admired for its blue with a slight purple tint colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to naturalising.

Camassia 'Maybelle' is a beautifully mannered choice for naturalistic planting—compact in character yet wonderfully luminous in flower. Fresh, linear green foliage rises into neat, upright spires of clear blue blooms with the softest purple nuance, bringing a poised lift to late-spring borders and meadow-style schemes.

Equally at home threaded through grass or grouped in informal drifts, it settles in with quiet ease and returns year after year, offering reliable colour and a welcome pause between early bulbs and summer perennials. The flower spikes also make an elegant cut stem for simple, airy arrangements.

  • Refined late-spring colour in clear blue with a gentle purple tint
  • Ideal for naturalising through grass, meadows and relaxed borders
  • Fully hardy and easy, thriving in moist but well-drained soil
  • Pollinator friendly and pleasantly useful as a cut flower

Where to Plant:

Camassia 'Maybelle' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 15cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
