Hyacinthoides hispanica Excelsior

I have this growing along borders under white pines and they multiply each year, despite dry woodland shade. Deer like to nibble on the greenery so I use a bit of deer repellent, but they are glorious regardless of any nibbles (the deer don't eat the flowers) and have been multiplying. the color is beautiful. They are lightly scented and gorgeous in a bouquet. Blooms late April in zone 7a.

Lush and trouble free in southern and southwestern California coastal regions, even in dry shade. If you have wet summers or wet summer soil, try to grow English Bluebells instead. They begin to bloom at the end of regular hyacinth season, mid-March in an ideal clime. They can be transplanted at any time, but may not bloom or bloom late if transplanted in February. Don't try to store the bulbs, replant any dug up ones right away in a spot with little to no summer water. Good companion to Clivia, bloom overlaps; good for areas awaiting the leafing out of Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) and Peruvian Daffodil (Ismene / Hymenocallis)

I added some of the improved Excelsior variety of Wood Hyacinths to an existing bed of blue Wood Hyacinths that had been planted 15 years ago. The bulbs were planted 1st week of November 2020 and I had a spectacular bed of blooms starting around April 1st here in Nashville, TN The larger blooms and vigorous plants really rejuvenated the existing bed.with many people taking pictures of the bed. The cooler Spring we are having kept the bulbs in near full bloom for 3 weeks now. they have produced beautifully.

They're blooming now, and they're beautiful!
