* Flowers in this species may be white, cream, blue or purple, all with attractive yellow anthers. Good fresh cut flower.

* Genus name is derived from the Native American Indian name of kamasor quamashfor a genus plant whose bulb was once used by native Americans and settlers as a food source.

* Mass or plant in groups of at least 15 bulbs in wildflower meadows, open woodland areas or borders.
