Hyacinthus Orientalis ‘Aqua’

Product Details

The pale blue petals of fragrant Hyacinthus orientalis ‘Aqua’ whiten toward the edges, and each is detailed with a darker central lavender-blue blaze, an enchanting effect that appears to produce a constellation of twilight stars in the garden. Plant clusters of these heavenly, fragrant blossoms amid Daffodils, Muscari, and other spring flowers, and add a few extra to cut for springtime bouquets.

Over centuries of breeding to increase the size, abundance, and color range of Hyacinth flowers, one thing remained the same—their rich perfume. Modern varieties can look a little stiff if they’re lined up in the garden, so spread them around, combining them with Pansies and shorter Tulips. Plant the bulbs in full sun and rich, well-drained soil that stays warm and dry in summer when the bulbs are dormant. Order extra to force indoors in winter.
