Additional Information about this plant...
Hyacinth
Hyacinth
According to Greek mythology hyacinth got its name when a young boy named Hyacinth was killed by a discus hitting him in the head during a game. A hyacinth sprang from the cut in his head as he lay in the arms of the god Apollo, who was wailing in grief. Wild hyacinths have letter-like patterns on their petals which look like the Greek "A" and indicate the sound of wailing.
Pink, White and Blue and Yellow scented flowers
Hyacinths are an easy bulb to raise. Once they are in bud they just need plenty of water.
Hyacinths came to Europe from Turkey. A German doctor named Leonhardt Rauwolf, collected samples of hyacinths when he visited Turkey in 1573. By the early 1700s hyacinths were very popular with several hundred varieties available.
Season: Dec to Mar
All hyacinths have a beautiful scent but blue varieties are usually the most fragrant.
How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Hyacinths
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Budding hyacinths will flower in a few days if you put them in a good light with plenty of water. They are not too fussy about temperature, but the warmer it is the more water they need, and the faster they grow.
Keep turning the plant so that it grows upright, rather than in the direction of the sunlight.
When the flowers are over you can plant the bulbs in the garden where they will flower again next year.
