Hyacinth Yellowstone
Gorgeous butter yellow perfumed flowers in early spring. Grows to around 25cm
Hyacinths
These beauties are fragrant and do well in well drained garden soil in sun or part shade. Add in a little bulb food and/or compost before planting. Plant in the autumn around 10cm deep and about 8cm apart. Lovely in groups of 3 or 5. When they finish flowering cut off the old flower spikes to help bulb growth. DON’T cut off the leaves!
Growing in Hyacinth Vase - see our other listings
Or try growing them in a hyacinth vase. To do this chill bulb in the vege drawer of your fridge for at least 5 weeks (keep away from edible produce). Fill the special hyacinth vase with water to just below the upper bowl where you place the bulb (pointy end up). Put it on a bright windowsill, turning it a little daily to keep it growing straight up. Periodically change water and keep level at base. Well worth trying!
