Pink Hyacinth Collection

Plant in October-November by burying the bulbs 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) deep and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart. In very harsh climates, cover with a litter layer to protect them from extreme cold. Flowering takes place in February-March. After flowering, wait for the leaves to turn yellow and wilt before pulling up the bulbs, which should be stored dry until they are replanted the following autumn. Flowering in the second year will generally be less impressive than the first, but still very acceptable for border decoration. Pot cultivation is possible.

Hyacinth tip: among early blooms, the hyacinth is one of the few bulbs with large flowers. Reserve a prime spot for it in your garden. It will bring spectacular splashes of colour to your borders.

Our tip: mix your hyacinths with other early bulbs such as chionodoxas or early Tulipa humilis.
