Notes
'Ibis' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Ibis') 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. It forms a clumping, fragrant mound about 10 inches tall with light blue-pink flowers in early to late spring. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees visit the blooms.
