Grape Hyacinth is a moderate-growing perennial, hardy in USDA zones 4-8, that matures to about 6–10 in × 4–6 in. It does best in full sun and part shade with medium water needs in well-drained and moist soil. Expect blue, pink and purple blooms in spring. It attracts bees, stands up well to black walnut, drought and poor soil and grows happily in containers.
