Grape Hyacinth

Grape Hyacinths do well
from zone 3 to zone 9, so they are a viable option for most of us.  They
are also one of the plants to choose if deer are a problem in your area.  Planted
at the bases of shrubs, or left to naturalize under trees, they can have a
stunning effect.  They make good companions to Daffodils, Tulips, alyssum,
candytuft, and just about any other spring plant you can think of, adding a
beautiful shade of blue that is otherwise hard to come by at that time of
year.  They will tolerate most soils, except areas that don't drain
well.  They have grass-like, gracefully arching leaves, and make good
border and container plants.  They will do well in full sun to part shade.
