    In our previous garden the Camassias shared their bed with all sorts of grasses from Couch to Humungously tall Miscanthus. So, yes is the answer.

        My Camassias are just starting to go over, hastened by the hot weekend, 27C. They are planted in a border of perennials in my garden in SW France. It gets very hot and dry here in summer and wet in winter. The bed gets watered occasionally by my handyman when I'm in the UK. The soil is clay with a lot of compost dug in. I had thought that planting them might be a mistake but they are fine. Photos on 15th April.
