Wild Hyacinth (Camassia Scilloides)
Asparagus FamilyThis striking flower features ombre-colored buds that transition from deep tones to lighter shades, with pale purple (occasionally white or blue) flowers and vibrant yellow anthers. Its dramatic coloration makes it a standout in any landscape.
Preferring partial sun, this plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter but can tolerate a range of light conditions and average moisture levels. It enters dormancy in late summer, re-emerging in late winter or early spring.
