Regarding the experience related to whether the purple hyacinth is poisonous and the precautions for growing hyacinths at home, corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!
Hyacinths, also known as Dutch iris, common grape hyacinth, multiflora hyacinth, andres bell. Hyacinths resemble garlic before blooming and are one of the most fragrant flowering plants discovered. The blooming period is early spring, with a natural blooming period from March to April.
There are about 2000 horticultural varieties of hyacinths worldwide, mainly divided into two categories: "Dutch" and "Roman". The former is the authentic variety, with most plants growing only one flower stem, which is robust and has larger flowers. The latter are mostly hybridized varieties, with each plant capable of producing two or three flower stems, which are weaker and have smaller flowers, hence most consumers prefer Dutch hyacinths.
Hyacinths are roughly divided into eight series by color: blue, pink, white, pale yellow, purple, yellow, crimson, and red. The original species is light purple and has a fragrant aroma.
