Hyacinth Bulbs
Hyacinthus orientalis
Hyacinths are perhaps the most fragrant of all spring bulbs. Their dense spikes of tiny, bell-shaped flowers in shades of deep purple, sky blue, soft pink, and pure white fill the air with an intoxicating perfume. They look spectacular in borders, containers, and are perfect for forcing indoors for a mid-winter fragrant display.
