 Plant Pick: Camassia leichtlinii great camas
Species of camas are native to the West, growing in low- to mid-elevation meadows where melted snow seeps into the ground.
The great camas stands 2 to 3 feet tall, and in late spring has a spike of blue, starlike flowers (selections can be found in white, such as 'Alba,' and dark blue, such as 'Blue Danube').
But, without the room for a meadow, you can still include the great camas in sunny positions in the garden (a planting strip, perhaps), where you should leave them undisturbed (don't keep digging them up and moving them).
