Hyacinth

Hyacinth is a popular bulbous spring-blooming perennial plant native to the eastern Mediterranean region. Known for its dense, spiked clusters of fragrant, bell-shaped flowers, hyacinths add vibrant color and an intoxicating sweet scent to gardens early in the growing season. They grow from underground bulbs, sending up glossy, strap-shaped green leaves before producing their magnificent floral towers in shades of blue, pink, white, purple, and yellow. Highly valued in ornamental horticulture, hyacinths thrive in well-drained soils under full sun to partial shade conditions and require a period of cold dormancy to successfully bloom year after year.
