Pre-Order for Fall 2025 Shipping (Shipping starts late October through December 2025).

Mostly occurring from southern California northward in the Coos Bay region of Oregon, this lovely West Coast camas-relative sometimes shows up magically and randomly in the Willamette Valley -- and even as far north as southern Vancouver Island.

While those far northern occurrences of this plant possibly originate as seeds hitchhiking in someone’s pant cuff (or as intentional transplants), the fact that it can grow so far north speaks to its adaptability.

Ithuriel’s spear has slow-roastable, edible corms (bulb-like structures), like its relatives wild hyacinth, camas, and ookow. Its marvelous blue flowers tower above surrounding meadow vegetation, growing atop large, open panicles in mid-spring, and rising from thin, wispy, grass-like foliage that tends to fade quickly -- and almost invisibly into the undergrowth even as the flowers put on a spectacular display. 

This is sun-loving plant, although it can tolerate some dappled savanna-like shade below oaks and madrona trees. And, it’s a plant that generally likes soils that dry out in summer. 

Adaptable to most locations from sea level to about 5000-feet, virtually anywhere along the West Coast, and in parts of the Inland West without months of extreme deep freezing. 

-- We offer these in units of 10 large, flowering-sized bulbs --

PLEASE NOTE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

Shipping begins in late October through December. Orders that include both seeds and bulbs may ship in two separate stages (with seeds shipping asap and bulbs shipping in the fall).

We try to add additional later harvest bulb species to our inventory as quickly as we can, but if you already have an active bulb order, please email us if you would like to add additional species to it.

This is a annual herculean effort for us as a small business -- we are unable to accommodate specific shipping dates.

We love hearing from you, but emailing us to inquire about order status in the middle of the shipping season slows your order down -- we're a small team with limited capacity! If you have not received your order by the late stage of our shipping window (early December), please do reach out for an update.

Due to phytosanitary restrictions, we are unable to ship bulbs to Canada.
