Prairie Hyacinth

This native perennial plant consists of a rosette of basal leaves up to 1½' across and one or more flowering stalks up to 2½' tall. The strap-shaped basal leaves are smooth and rather floppy; they often arch downward or sprawl across the ground in the absence of support from other vegetation. The flowering stalks are erect, slender, hairless, and leafless. Each stalk terminates in a raceme of about 20-80 flowers. Each flower consists of six lavender to pale blue-violet sepals.
