Notes
'Anna Marie' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Anna Marie') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. Fragrant light blue-violet flowers open in early to late spring, and bees visit the blooms. N. Dames bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blue fescue, and Greig's tulip.
