Hyacinthus orientalis 'Prins Hendrik' is an old hyacinth that is not often sold. The yellow bloom is narrower than most hyacinths and looks starry and elegant to me. It blooms in early to mid March in my Zone 9 garden. I try to keep it bone dry during the summer and it has come back several years for me.
