A lovely pink hyacinth that brings color and fragrance to the garden during the chilly spring.
This hyacinth is also very versatile. You can plant the bulbs in a border or in a flower bed, but you can also plant them in a pot or container for the terrace or balcony, or even grow them indoors.

Hyacinths are suitable for forcing in water? Place the hyacinths as soon as possible after receipt in a hyacinth vase with water (also available in this online store). Make sure the water just barely touches the bulb. Now place the hyacinth vase with the bulb in a dark, cool place at about 10-12 °C. For example, in the garage or cellar. Then we let nature do its work, and we wait until roots start to appear, which takes a little while. Next, we wait for the flower bud to rise about 5 cm. Only then, when the flower bud has grown well out of the bulb, do we bring the hyacinth vase to the warm living room.
By the way, we call this process ‘forcing’.
Very fun to do together with small children!
All hyacinths are descended from the Hyacinthus orientalis. Originally, it comes from Turkey to Central Asia, where it grows among rocks at 2000 m altitude. The story goes that Ogier van Busbeke, ambassador of the king in Spain and diplomat in Constantinople, brought the hyacinth to the Low Countries. It was described by Clusius in 1557. Originally, the color was blue and the flower was single. In the 18th century, many new varieties emerged as a result of intensive crossing and selection of the plant.
