Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Named after the famous Dutch historical figure, this hyacinth brings a touch of old-world drama to the spring garden with its intense colour.

Each dense, spire-like bloom releases an intoxicatingly sweet fragrance that is the very essence of spring. Perfect for creating a dramatic statement in patio pots and window boxes, or massed at the front of a sunny border for an unforgettable river of colour. Its rich hue pairs wonderfully with crisp white daffodils or pale yellow tulips. Easy to grow and a magnet for early pollinators, 'Peter Stuyvesant' brings reliable performance and regal beauty to any UK garden.

Where to Plant:

Hyacinths thrive in a sunny or lightly shaded spot in well-drained soil. They are perfect for the front of borders, patio pots, window boxes, or for 'forcing' indoors for an early burst of colour and scent. Their strong, upright form provides excellent structure.

How to Plant:

Plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and about 10-15cm apart in autumn, from September to December. Position the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. For container planting, you can place them slightly closer together for a fuller display. Always wear gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs as they can cause skin irritation.

Aftercare:

Water well after planting. In spring, once the flowers have faded, deadhead the stalk but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process feeds the bulb for the following year's display. In containers, ensure they don't dry out completely during dry spells.

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!
