description

Pink Stars Camas (Camassia leichtlinii ‘Pink Stars’) is a rare bulbous perennial admired for its elegant spikes of soft pink, star-shaped flowers. Also known as Camassia Pink Stars, this refined variety blooms from May to June, producing delicate flower spikes above glossy green, strap-like foliage that forms a graceful, well-structured clump. Reaching approximately 60 cm (24 in) in height, it brings softness, vertical interest, and elegance to spring landscapes. Hardy to Zone 4, Camassia Pink Star naturalizes gradually over time when planted in well-drained soil and left undisturbed.

Plant the bulbs in autumn before the ground freezes, approximately 12 cm (5 in) deep and spaced 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) apart. Choose a location in full sun or partial shade with rich, loose, neutral to slightly alkaline, and perfectly drained soil. Keep the soil lightly moist during spring growth, then reduce watering as the foliage enters dormancy. A moderate application of compost or balanced fertilizer in spring encourages abundant flowering. After blooming, allow the foliage to yellow naturally so the bulbs can replenish their energy reserves before summer.

Camassia Pink Stars is an outstanding choice for naturalized gardens, wildflower meadows, borders, and sunny flower beds. Its pale pink flower spikes pair beautifully with daffodils, ornamental alliums, Siberian irises, forget-me-nots, and ornamental grasses to create graceful, refined spring displays. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and many other beneficial pollinators, making this variety an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. The long flower spikes also make beautiful fresh-cut flowers with excellent vase life. Although Camassia Pink Stars is prized for its ornamental beauty, it is grown exclusively for decorative purposes, and its flowers are not intended for consumption.
