Description

Hyacinths are not only popular with gardeners all over the world due to their brilliant and satisfying show of colours, but also their very sweet and pervasively intrusive spring perfume. They produce glossy, narrow, strap like, green leaves which appear just as the short flower spike emerges crammed with tubular or strongly reflexed blooms. The flower spike then extends above the leaves and the blooms open up and out in early to mid spring. They can be grown in pots and terrace planters and are ideal as cut flowers for vases and arrangements where their fragrance can bring the breath of spring indoors.
