Hyacinth is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant. It is a spring flowering bulb that produces the spikes of flowers noted for their intense, often overpowering, fragrance. It typically grows 6-10 inches tall. Each bulb sends up 3-4 strap-shaped green leaves in early spring and a stiff densely flowered spike of extremely fragrant tubular flowers. Flower colours are in various shades of blue, purple, pink, red and white. Hyacinth is produced in group or mass in beds, borders, rock gardens, along walks. This species effectively mixes with other spring flowering bulbs.
