Boasting an electrifying magenta-pink hue, 'Johanna' offers one of the most vibrant and modern colours in the hyacinth family.

This is not your average pastel hyacinth; 'Johanna' delivers a show-stopping performance with dense spires of star-shaped florets in an electrifying magenta pink. Each bloom releases the famously rich and sweet hyacinth perfume, guaranteed to welcome you home on a fresh spring day. Perfect for creating a vibrant block of colour in borders, 'Johanna' also excels in patio pots and window boxes where its powerful fragrance can be enjoyed up close. Plant alongside white daffodils or muscari for a truly stunning, high-contrast display that will be the envy of the neighbourhood.

Where to Plant:

Choose a spot in full sun or light, dappled shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Hyacinths are perfect for the front of spring borders, lining pathways, or in patio pots and window boxes where their intoxicating fragrance can be fully appreciated. They are also excellent for forcing indoors for an early splash of spring colour and scent.

How to Plant:

Plant your bulbs from September to December. Dig holes around 15cm deep and place the bulbs 10-15cm apart with the pointed tip facing upwards. For a container display, you can plant them closer together. Always wear gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs as they can cause mild skin irritation.

Aftercare:

Water well after planting and keep the soil moist during dry spells in autumn. Once the flowers have faded, deadhead the stalk but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process feeds the bulb, storing energy for the following year's display. In containers, reduce watering as the leaves yellow.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
