Notes
'Anastasia' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Anastasia') is a bulb for borders, containers, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The blue-violet flowers are fragrant and open from early to late spring. Bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
