Spring bloomers . . . [that] resemble hyacinths, but are taller, with looser flower clusters and fewer, narrower leaves. Prolific, vigorous, with sturdy, 20-inch stems bearing 12 or more nodding bells about 3/4 inch long. Blue is the most popular color, 'Excelsior' (deep blue) the most popular selection. There are also white, pink and rose forms. The inch-wide straplike leaves can look a little ratty before they die back. [Bender, Steve, Southern Living Garden Book, The.
