Hello Zone7

The foliage does come up in the autumn and overwinters above ground - after the flowers fade, the foliage will eventually die back and then the whole process starts over again in October (or so...)

Guess you caould call that semi-evergreen.

Hope this helps

Howie

thank you. that is nice , it seems i will be able to tell where i put them as i plant in summer and fall. it would not hard for me to confuse myself on that point! i have a carolina jessamine to prune later, and i cant walk by it without thinking of grape hyacinth. lots of them. wish me luck and thanks again.-z.

Hi Z7,

I live in zone 5 and mine stayed green all winter. I'm thankful for anything that stays green in winter here. I sure get tired of our long winters and the old drab gray color of the landscape...Jay
