Hyacinthus orientalis
Hyacinth is a moderate-growing perennial, hardy in USDA zones 4-8, that matures to about 6–12 in × 4–6 in. It does best in full sun with medium water needs in well-drained soil. Expect blue, yellow and orange blooms in spring. It attracts bees, stands up well to black walnut, deer and drought and grows happily in containers.
