A sea of purple! Hyacinth flowers bring color and fragrance to the spring garden—attracts butterflies too!
.
-Bloom TIme: March – April.
-Hyacinths are considered to be highly resistant to deer, as deer tend to steer clear of plants or flowers with strong scents.
-Hyacinths can be used as perennials, as they will return each year if left in the ground in certain zones. However, in warmer zones they can be treated more like annuals, as they will need to be dug up to be pre-chilled before planting again in the fall.
-Hyacinths are known to be toxic if consumed by humans or animals and are listed on the ASPCA website as toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. The concentration of toxin is greater in the bulb than in the flowers or foliage.
-Zones: Generally 3-9, with some winter protection needed in zones lower than 5 and pre-chilling in fall required in zones higher than 7.
-Exposure: Full sun to light shade.
