Insights
C. cusickii, also known as Cusick's Camass, is ideal for growing with tall grasses and salvias, or planted in drifts in the herbaceous border, where it can be left undisturbed to naturalise. This rarer variety is lovely for cutting, its delicate colour adding a note of sophistication to inside arrangements.
