Hyacinthaceae

Scilloideae is a large subfamily of the monocot family Asparagaceae in the order Asparagales, in itself the largest grouping within the monocots. The Scilloideae are herbaceous perennial bulbous flowering plants, which have sometimes been placed in a separate family, the Hyacinthaceae. They include many familiar garden plants such as Hyacinthus (hyacinths), Hyacinthoides (bluebells) and Muscari (grape hyacinths).
