Description
The hyacinth captivates in March and April with dense clusters of blue, pink, white, and violet flowers and an intense, sweet fragrance. It is suitable for beds, containers, and pre‑cultivation in glass on a windowsill. In the garden, the flower spikes become looser and more natural from year to year.
Care instructions
Plant the bulbs in September or October about 15 cm deep in well‑draining soil at a sunny spot. Wear gloves when handling the bulbs, as the skins can irritate the skin. Allow the foliage to die back after flowering. In heavy, wet soils the bulbs may rot; a sand drainage layer in the planting hole helps prevent this.
