Hyacinthoides spend most of the year as bulbs underground in ancient woodlands, only emerging to flower and leaf from early spring. This early spring flowering allows them to make the most of the sunlight that is still able to make it to their forest floor habitat and attracts the attention of plenty of pollinating insects.
