Hyacinthus orientalis is a bulbous perennial prized for its dense, upright spikes of intensely fragrant, bell-shaped flowers. It typically grows 6 to 12 inches tall, featuring a basal whorl of succulent, strap-shaped green leaves. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers organically rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during the spring. Ideal for massing in borders, rock gardens, or containers, these hardy bulbs also excel when forced for early indoor color and scent.
