Wood hyacinth Hyacinthoides is a plant with a bulb from which many elongated ground-standing leaves emerge. Wood hyacinth has a central flowering stem with a raceme-shaped inflorescence. The flowers are usually blue or purple-blue, with short or long stems. The flower consists of slanting, maximally slightly bending corolla lips that are fused at the base and have 2 unequal bracts. The three-part drupe on which the style rests for a long time splits open lengthwise at maturity. The black, somewhat oval, fine and irregularly ribbed seeds fall out.
