Family: (Asparagaceae)
Tender bulb to 10″. Roman Hyacinth. Southern Europe. This unusual treasure blooms in our Pit House in April. Purple-flushed stems hold tight, conical spikes of buds that open from the bottom up into flared, six-petalled, waxy white blooms with a pale green dab on the tepals and attractive, contrasting, navy blue anthers. The flowers are lightly scented with hints of vanilla, especially towards evening. The leaves are strappy and dark green, and more slender than a garden Hyacinth, but of similar form. 3 & ∆, then T1
*Tip: If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks, place seed pans in a cool location (about 40°) for 2-4 weeks
