Hyacinth Blue Ice (Sky Jacket)

The intricate striping on this hyacinth makes it a favorite for planting in containers or near walkways where garden visitors can get a closer look. Hyacinth Blue Ice (Sky Jacket) features powder blue flowers with deep violet-blue stripes down the center of each petal. Growing 10" tall, it blooms in early to mid-spring and attracts pollinators. This fragrant hyacinth adds plenty of charm to formal gardens and can also be scattered in the border between ground covers and perennials or planted in small clumps in front of evergreens. Hyacinth bulbs are easy to grow and perform best when planted in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to pass it by.
