Cusick Camass
Camassia cusickii is a North American bulb native to moist meadows in northeastern Oregon. Camassia is derived from the Native American name for this group of plants – quamash. Beautiful blue flowers and a tolerance for moist soils in summer make this bulb an ideal selection for Chicago area gardeners. Unlike its cousin, Camassia quamash, this species is not edible; its bulbs smell bad.
