Notes
'Apricot Passion' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Apricot Passion') 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. The light blue-pink flowers are fragrant and open from early to late spring, and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Balloon flower.
