A spring-flowering plant with fragrant bell-shaped flowers that grow in dense clusters, often purple, pink, or blue.
From Greek 'hyakinthos,' possibly named after a beautiful youth in Greek mythology who was turned into a flower. The exact origin of the Greek name is unclear but appears in ancient texts.
In Greek mythology, a young man named Hyacinthos was so beautiful that even Apollo (the god of music) fell in love with him—and accidentally killed him during a game. The flower was said to have grown where his blood fell!
