Hyacinthus orientalis 'Mulberry Rose' is an intense magenta rose hyacinth. It has been growing and blooming in my Zone 9 garden for 5 years in a row. I do not dig up hyacinths, but leave them in the ground with no water during the summer. I started out with 5 bulbs and now have 3 blooms, but they have retained most of their original density.

Hyacinth orientalis 'Mulberry Rose' is an heirloom, hybridized in 1946 by G van der Mey.
