When you think of hyacinths, a blue or purple flower probably springs to mind. Hyacinth Fondant breaks that mould: a deep pink shade that you don’t often come across and which instantly gives a border a different character.
An early fragrance for people and bees
Fondant is an early bloomer and is therefore one of the first sources of fragrance of the season, for you and for the first bees seeking nectar after winter. The fragrance is just as intense as that of its blue counterparts, though slightly softer in character, in keeping with the colour. This pink hyacinth combines surprisingly well with white tulips or the blue of grape hyacinths, creating a spring border that looks soft rather than bright. Fondant also works well on its own in a pot by the front door, precisely because the colour doesn’t scream for attention.
Compact and versatile
Thanks to its compact growth habit, Fondant is just as suitable for a border in a large garden as it is for a pot on a small balcony. This hyacinth therefore fits in just as well with a lush border as it does with a few pots on the third floor. Placed in a pot or bowl indoors, they’ll also add to the atmosphere and immediately fill the room with that lovely sweet scent. A variety that brings joy wherever it goes!
