Notes
'Top White' common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Top White') 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. It blooms in early to late spring and has fragrant flowers that attract bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plant the bulbs in groups for the best show.
Pairs well with Blue Jacket common hyacinth, Dynasty tulip, Armenian grape hyacinth, and Dancing Queen hosta.
