Hyacinth o. 'Perle Brillante' has relatively large, light purple blue florets edged in pearly white but the florets are brighter blue on the reverse (see the closeup photo). It's an old Victorian variety from pre 1895. Blooms in early-mid March in my Zone 9 garden. I keep it bone dry during the summers and it comes back for several years.
