Wild hyacinth is a charming native bulb that produces elegant pale blue to white flower spikes in spring, thriving in moist, well-drained soils in sun or part shade. Plant bulbs in fall at a depth of about 3–4 inches and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Foliage dies back naturally in summer, so pair it with other perennials to fill the gap.
