Hyacinths

Why choose hyacinths?

A gorgeous scent and beautiful colours: Hyacinths are known for their strong, pleasing fragrance that will transform any garden into an aromatic paradise. The flowers come in a wide range of pastel colours, and this diversity means you can create beautiful combinations that will liven up your garden, bringing a sense of freshness and renewal.
Early spring bloomers: As one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, hyacinths bring a burst of colour while the rest of the garden is still hibernating. Because they flower early, they are ideal for planting at the front of borders or as eye-catching focal points in flower pots. Whether you prefer a more formal planting surrounded by a neat hedge or a more casual display amid other garden plants, hyacinths always come into their own beautifully.
Versatile planting options: Not only are hyacinths beautiful garden plants, they are also excellent pot plants. They can be grown indoors during the winter months, allowing you to enjoy their beauty and fragrance early in the season. This makes hyacinths a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens.

How to plant and care for hyacinths

Planting time: The best time to plant hyacinths is late autumn, before the ground freezes. This gives the bulbs time to take root before winter sets in. Don't plant them too early in the season to avoid the bulbs rotting caused by excessive rainfall.
Location: Hyacinths like full sun but will also thrive in semi-shade. Make sure you plant them in loose, moderately fertile, permeable soil. Avoid areas where water collects, as hyacinths are prone to rot in wet soil.
Planting depth and distance: Plant the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their own height, with the tip pointing upwards. For an impressive effect, plant groups of 5 to 9 bulbs together. This creates a beautiful, compact sea of flowers that will attract attention.
Care: After planting, it is important to water the bulbs well to stimulate root growth. During dry periods in autumn and winter, give the bulbs some extra water. Leave the foliage after flowering until it has completely died off. This helps the bulbs absorb nutrients for next year's flowering.

Hyacinths: Perfect for naturalising

Like other perennial bulbs, hyacinths are easy to grow and come back every year. In fact, they often bloom with greater intensity. This makes them ideal for natural gardens where they have space to multiply. Plant hyacinths in large numbers for an impressive effect and enjoy their beautiful blooms year after year.
We even have a whole category of naturalising bulbs.

At Natural Bulbs, we value organically grown bulbs for a healthy garden and rich biodiversity. By choosing our organic hyacinths, you will avoid harmful pesticides and help provide a safe habitat for bees and other beneficial insects.
