Camas was an essential part of the diet of many groups of Native peoples throughout the plants range, but do not dig them in the wild to eat as an associated bulb `Death Camas', is very posionous. These onion-like bulbs multiply quickly, naturalizing well, and are best grown in sun to light shade. All species have star shaped flowers borne on a terminal flower spike.
