Grape hyacinth is characterized by its strikingly vibrant purple, edible blooms that present a grape-like bitterness upon tasting. Typically emerging from the earth as bulbs, these flowers abound in small, dense clusters akin to their lily family kin. Each plant sends up multiple linear, hollow leaves that sprout solely from the base, growing in a fashion reminiscent of onion or garlic foliage, without the signature scent. These leaves can contribute to a clustered appearance at the plant's base.
