Hyacinth 'Yellowstone'

Hyacinth 'Yellowstone': The Golden Sunshine

Brighten up the greyest spring days with the radiant glow of Hyacinth 'Yellowstone'. Yellow is the rarest colour in the hyacinth family, and 'Yellowstone' is widely regarded as the best of them all. Unlike older varieties that can be pale or creamy, this cultivar produces spikes of a rich, intense lemon-yellow that holds its colour vibrancy throughout the blooming period. Each sturdy stem is densely packed with starry florets that create a pillar of pure sunshine in the border or pot. Naturally, it brings with it the signature sweet, heady perfume that hyacinths are famous for, offering a sensory treat that signals the true arrival of warmer weather.

• Rare True Yellow: Most "yellow" hyacinths are actually cream, but 'Yellowstone' delivers a deep, buttery yellow that is truly distinct and highly sought after by collectors.

• Scented Sunshine: The fragrance is potent and sweet. A single pot placed on a kitchen table or windowsill will fill the room with the fresh, clean scent of spring.

• Colourfast: While some yellow flowers fade to white in strong sun, 'Yellowstone' is famous for maintaining its rich, buttery hue from the moment the buds open until the petals fall.

• Weather Resistant: The thick, fleshy stems are robust enough to withstand spring breezes and April showers, keeping the heavy flower heads upright and proud.

Gardener's Tip: "The Classic Contrast"

Yellow and blue are complementary colours on the colour wheel, meaning they make each other look brighter when placed side-by-side. For a dazzling display, plant 'Yellowstone' alongside the deep indigo-blue of Hyacinth 'Blue Jacket' or carpet the soil beneath them with blue Grape Hyacinths (Muscari). The deep blue makes the yellow pop, creating a vibrant, electric display that is impossible to miss.
