Camassia 'Silk River' (camas 'Silk River)
£9.29
Unit price perDelivery begins from 14 September 2026
Spring flowering bulbs and plants are scheduled to begin delivery from 14 September 2026.
Camassia leichtlinii 'Silk River' is a quietly striking camas, sending up poised spires of creamy-white, star-shaped flowers that unfurl from fresh lime-green buds in late spring and early summer. The effect is light, elegant and effortlessly natural—particularly when allowed to drift through grass, at the woodland edge, or threaded between perennials.
It’s a refined choice for gardeners who favour a softer, more meadow-like finish, yet it holds its own in a well-dressed border. Plant in groups for a calm, architectural rhythm, and enjoy stems that also lend themselves beautifully to a simple vase indoors.
- Flower colour: Creamy white with lime-green buds
- Flowering: May–June
- Height: 80cm
- Bulb size: 12/14cm
- Position: Borders, naturalised grass, woodland edge

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!
