It’s such a treat to see some colors coming out in the spring here on Cape Cod. You can see the dark bluish-purple Grape Hyacinth, which only grows to about 4” tall, along the roads and in yards. Such a nice splash of color after so many rain-filled and cloudy days.
Grape hyacinth fun fact:
“There is a famous planting of grape hyacinth at Keukenhof Gardens in The Netherlands known as the Blue River. This dense planting of M. armeniacum winds past trees, shrubs, and other spring flowers, giving the illusion of a flowing blue river. ”
