The blue flowers appear in dense clusters atop long, sturdy flower stems about 70 centimeters high.

It is best to plant them in the ground from September to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the size of the flowerbulb and the planting distance is also 2 to 3 times the width of the flowerbulb. It prefers well-drained soil that is moderately moist. It does well in a variety of soil types, including clay, loam and sandy soil. It is important to ensure that the soil is not too waterlogged, otherwise the flowerbulbs may rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCamassia leichtlinii\u003c\/em\u003e 'Caerulea' thrives best in a sunny or slightly shaded position.
