Notes
'Miss Saigon' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Miss Saigon') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Fragrant violet flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Dancing Queen hosta, and Garlic chives.
