It is a [[bulb]]-bearing [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]]. The bulb is 6–8&nbsp;cm diameter, white with a covering of brown scales. The [[leaf|leaves]] are linear, 20–60&nbsp;cm long and 1–4&nbsp;cm broad, with 5-15 leaves produced each spring. The flowering stem is 15–40&nbsp;cm tall, bearing a dense pyramidal [[raceme]] of 40-100 [[flower]]s; each flower is blue, 1–2&nbsp;cm diameter, with six [[tepal]]s.

Scilla peruviana, Linn. (S. ciliaris, Hort. S. Clusii, Parl.). Cuban Lily. Peruvian Jacinth. Hyacinth of Peru (once thought to be a Peruvian plant). Bulb large, ovate, tunicate: lvs. many, broad-linear, 6-12 in. long; margins ciliated with minute white bristles, channeled: scape robust, terminated by a many-fld. conic broad and compact raceme of purple, lilac, reddish, or whitish fls.: fls. rotate; corolla persistent; anthers short. May, June. Region of Medit., not Peru.— The hyacinth of Peru is not hardy in Mass. It propagates freely by offsets. It flowers all through May and June and forms a most attractive object in the herbaceous border or bed. S. peruviana, however, has one fault that may tell against it in the opinion of many cultivators—it never flowers two years in succession; it seems to need a whole year's rest after the effort of producing its large spike of fls.
