Wild hyacinth is known be several names including Blue Dicks, Brodiaea, and Purplehead. They are native to Arizona, California, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon, and northern portions of Mexico. The flowers are pale blue and bloom from the bottom to the top, creating a full look that can highlight lush green areas with color. These bulbs are hearty and do well in many areas of California.
This is a plant species that often thrives in post-fire areas. It does best in wide open spaces of disturbed soil. At Evergreen Landscaping Services, we can help you determine if wild hyacinth is something that will do well in your yard or around your business. It offers a beautiful layer of dense color in the right areas and are relatively easy to grow. They offer an amazing addition to a meadow type of land structure or a grassland area.
The flowers of the wild hyacinth will attract a variety of insects and other nectar-seeking species. These flowers are great for lining walkways and can even do well planted in large pots that can be moved around a yard or garden area. These bulbs flower early in the spring, offering some of the first color of the year. The stems grow from eight to twenty inches high, with the tower of blooms at the peak. There are actually a number of smaller, delicate flowers that make up the tower of blooms at the tip of each of these stems.
Evergreen Landscaping Service can help you to keep pests such as rabbits or snails away from these plants, too. They are otherwise fairly easy to care for, but our professional landscapers can help you with a variety of pest deterrents that will keep your entire garden and landscaping beautiful for years to come. For that reason, many of our customers retain us to control pests on a regular basis.
Because wild hyacinth are relatively easy to care for, as are most bulbs, and they are some of the first flowers to bloom in many landscapes, often peaking out in January to alert you that winter should be over soon, they are a favorite of many Pismo Beach residents.
