Blue Hyacinth Collection

The Blue Hyacinth Collection celebrates the elegance of blue, the fragrance, and the arrival of spring. These beautiful bulbous plants offer clusters of tightly packed, scented bells in various shades of blue. Resistant to cold, they bloom with the first spring warmth, between late February and late March, depending on the climate. Their flowers bring a touch of colour and freshness to borders, beds, or containers.

The collection includes 15 hyacinths in 3 named and labelled varieties:

5 'Delft Blue' Hyacinths: This highly fragrant variety produces spikes of bluish-purple flowers with a very bright medium blue colour, reminiscent of the famous Dutch pottery. It has received numerous awards for its multiple qualities. In the garden, it will bloom from February to March.

5 'Atlantic' Hyacinths: known as one of the hardiest varieties, it offers beautiful spikes covered with single flowers in a lovely bluish-purple shade, highlighted by indigo violet central veins on each petal. Blooms in February-March, slightly later than the previous one.

5 'Sky Jacket' Hyacinths: this variety offers pale blue flowers, lighter than the others. It also blooms in February-March.

Labelled and packaged separately.

Plant these hyacinths in autumn, ideally between September and November, for spring flowering. In the garden, they can be planted along borders or in flower beds, mixed with other plants. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 10 cm and space them 15 cm apart, in well-drained and fertile soil. In pots, use a light mixture of potting soil and garden soil, ensuring that water does not stagnate. Allow for 20 bulbs per m² for a dense effect.

To create an elegant spring display, combine the blue hyacinths with other blue-flowering bulbs. 'Blue Diamond' tulips, with their blue-violet flowers, pair perfectly with the hyacinths and can be planted mixed with them. 'Blue Spike' muscari, with their vibrant blue double blooms, can be placed in front of the hyacinths. 'Ice Follies' narcissus, with their white and yellow flowers, will bring a touch of light and can be planted in the background to create a sense of depth. Allow for approximately 5 to 7 bulbs of each cultivar per m² for a balanced ensemble.
