Overview

Hyacinth Mixed: The Scented Kaleidoscope

Why choose just one colour when you can have them all? Turn your garden into a perfumed paradise with our Hyacinth Mixed collection. This carefully curated blend brings together the very best of the Hyacinth world, offering a vibrant riot of blues, pinks, whites, reds, yellows, and purples. Each bulb produces a thick, robust spike densely packed with starry florets that look like intricate porcelain work. Beyond the visual spectacle, this mix is the ultimate sensory experience; Hyacinths are famous for their powerful, sweet fragrance that captures the essence of spring. Whether planted in formal beds, scattered in borders, or crowded into patio pots, they guarantee a cheerful and aromatic start to the season.

Key Features

  • Aromatic Powerhouse: There is no spring bulb more fragrant than the Hyacinth. This mix ensures your garden is filled with a heavy, sweet perfume that drifts on the breeze.
  • Rainbow Riot: From deep midnight blues and rich wines to soft pinks and snowy whites, this collection covers the full spectrum, ensuring no two corners of your garden look the same.
  • Robust & Reliable: Hyacinths are known for their thick, fleshy stems which make them highly weather-resistant. They stand upright in spring showers and wind without the need for staking.
  • Bee Magnets: The dense florets are rich in nectar, providing a vital and easily accessible food source for early-waking bumblebees and other pollinators.

Gardener's Tip

When planting a mixed collection in a border, avoid planting them in a single straight line, which can look regimented and thin. Instead, plant them in triangular groups or irregular clumps of 5, 7, or 9 bulbs. This creates "bouquets" of colour that look natural and impactful. If planting in pots, pack them in tight (about an inch apart) to create a solid canopy of blooms that hides the soil completely.
