Hi For 10+ years I have grown Camassia leichtlinii subsp. suksdorfii 'Electra' to the extent I was worried about the numbers. It doesn't seed but is a vigorous grower and my original single bulb from Avon Bulbs is now 2+ square meters of dense growth, after separating out a few years back and replanting. Last year I had a little spring damage on the new growth but hardly noticeable when they were in flower, this year nearly all the early growth has been eaten down to the ground/mulch. Deer (which we have) are not supposed to eat Camassia but a few nights back I happened to see a security light had been triggered during the night. I now know we have visits from Badgers too; nice to watch, BUT!. There is a well worn track along the hedge on the road side of our garden, outside the chain link fencing. Now i know why; but it is turning the corner we live on and coming in the open gateway presumably. Can't see any tunnels; yet. My question is will they recover enough to flower this year, assuming no more grazing? I have put plastic imitation chain link over them at present held up a bit by empty pots. Don't really want to fence that bed; but I could. Another plant in the same bed loses its flowers each year to grazing. (forget name; like evergreen grape hyacinth) Time to think about a secure garden ??
