Hyacinthella dalmatica
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Endemic to the northwestern Balkan peninsula (the Dalmatian coast of the former Yugoslavia), Hyacinthella dalmatica grows on rocky hillsides that are hot and dry in summer. A bulbous perennial related to Muscari and Bellevalia, it reaches 30-45 cm and typically produces three basal leaves. In early to mid-spring it bears a loose raceme of tubular to bell-shaped flowers in a soft, pale blue, with dark blue anthers held within the mouth of the tube. Like other Mediterranean rock-garden bulbs, it needs sharp drainage, full sun and a dry summer rest.
