About This Plant
Hyacinthus orientalis 'Aqua' reaches 8 to 12 inches tall, featuring soft lavender-blue florets with subtle color shifts depending on the light. Early and late in the day, the blooms may appear more purple, while in shade or under high clouds, their blue tones become more pronounced. Its densely packed flower spikes emit a sweet fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies as a valuable early-season nectar source. Ideal for borders, containers, and cutting gardens, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is deer-resistant, returning reliably each spring for a vibrant display.
