With the Hyacinth you’re not only bringing beautiful flowers into your home, but also a bit of Greek mythology. Hyacinthus is the Latin form of the Greek word Huakinthos. According to Greek myth, Huakinthos was loved by the sun god Apollo. He was mortally wounded during discus throwing and from his flowing blood grew a flower, which Apollo named after Huakinthos. The Hyacinthus 'Gipsy Queen' is sure to stand out in the garden with its beautiful peach-orange colour and delicious scent. The Hyacinthus can be combined for a versatile garden. The hyacinth will reach a height of about 20-30cm. Plant the bulbs between September and December and celebrate spring when they start blooming in April.
Care Hyacinths do not need much care. The most important thing is that they are planted in a well drained, light and fertile soil. In case of frost, it is best to place leaves, peat and branches over the bulbs for protection. The bulbs can also be planted in a pot or container. If they are in a container, it is important to protect them from frost with, for example, bubble wrap, straw and leaves.
Size The flower bulbs have a circumference of approximately 15/16cm upon delivery.
