A hyacinth in the garden requires little care and thrives in our gardens. Plant them in the fall in sunny or partially shaded, nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. They do not tolerate waterlogged conditions. If planted in clay soil, mix the soil with peat or sand. Planting depth 10-12 cm.
The name of this bulb comes from Greek mythology. Hyacinthus was a handsome athlete who was adored by Apollo. To Apollo's dismay, Hyacinthus was fatally wounded during a discus throwing competition. From Hyacinthus's blood bloomed a flower that was later named the hyacinth.
The hyacinth was not exactly a cheap flower in the 17th and 18th centuries; it was so exclusive that a lot of money had to be paid for a single bulb. The hyacinth was reserved for the wealthiest in the land. Fortunately, we can all now enjoy this cheerful, colorful, and wonderfully fragrant flower! The hyacinth is a lovely harbinger of spring.
