It is native to western Asia, from southern Turkey, through Syria and Lebanon to northern Israel. It was introduced to Europe in the 16th century. It is widely cultivated everywhere in the temperate world for its strongly fragrant flowers which appear exceptionally early in the season, and frequently forced to flower at Christmas time.
All parts of this plant are reportedly toxic to humans and animals if ingested.
Also recorded as Common Hyacinth, Garden hyacinth and Wild Hyacinth.
