Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

The name Hyacinth comes from a Greek myth where the flower is said to have sprung from the blood of the hero Hyacinthus, a lover of the god Apollo.

Unleash a rainbow of colour and a wave of intoxicating perfume with our spectacular Hyacinth 'Mixed Colours' collection! Perfect for gardeners who love a surprise, this vibrant mix brings together a classic spring palette of blues, pinks, purples, yellows, and whites. Each top-quality bulb produces a dense, spire-shaped flower packed with waxy florets, creating a truly impressive display. Plant them in bold drifts along a border, cluster them in patio pots for a fragrant welcome, or place them near a doorway to enjoy their famous scent. They partner beautifully with early tulips and daffodils for a long-lasting spring show. Easy to grow and utterly delightful, this mix is the essence of a spring garden.

Where to Plant:

Hyacinths thrive in a sunny or lightly shaded spot in fertile, well-drained soil. Their strong, upright form is perfect for the front of borders, formal bedding schemes, or patio containers where their heady fragrance can be fully appreciated. Ensure the position is sheltered from strong winds to protect the heavy flower spikes.

How to Plant:

Plant bulbs in autumn, about 10-15cm deep and 15cm apart, with the pointed end facing up. For a natural look, scatter them in drifts rather than planting in straight rows. In pots, you can plant them a little closer together for a fuller display. Always wear gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs as they can cause skin irritation.

Aftercare:

Water well after planting and keep the soil moist during dry spells 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 subsequent years, the flowers may be less dense, which creates a more relaxed, natural look perfect for informal gardens.
