The hardiness information here is wrong. This is a very hardy bulb, well beyond zone 8. It was very happy in my zone 6 garden.

This grape hyacinth is the prettiest shade of blue, very striking. The bright blue combines well with miniature daffodils like Tete a Tete.

I grew these for the first time this year. These are just the prettiest sky blue little flowers. I'm amazed with how long blooming they are. They've been blooming for more than a month and still look fresh. I hope they'll multiply as well as the more common Muscari do.
