Camas – Common
$2.50 – $330.00
Common Camas is found throughout much of the Pacific Northwest. It blooms between late April and June in wet meadows and open prairies. Common Camas is a member of the lily family. Nez Perce and the Kalapuya Native American tribes used the bulb of this flower as a food source. It takes a lot of patience to establish from seed and can take a full three years before it will bloom. In the Northwest fall plant this flower for the best results. Most Oregon natives need cold weather to initiate germination.
