Hyacinthus, Dutch Hyacinth 'Splendid Cornelia'

This is one of the earliest hyacinths in my zone 9 garden--it often blooms by the last week in Feb. I have left it in the ground for 1...Read More0 years (just found my record of planting my first clump in Fall 1997!) and it reliably comes back, sometimes splitting into smaller blooms. I try to keep my hyacinths bone dry in in summer. The shade of pink is more mauve--soft but has blue in it.

This hyacinth repeats reliabily for me in zone6 in partial shade.

Not as vigorously perennial as some other varieties.
