Hyacinth 'Blue Jacket', Dutch Hyacinth, Hyacinthus orientalis, Common Hyacinth, Spring Bulbs, Spring Flowers
Highly fragrant, multi award-winning Hyacinth ‘Blue Jacket’ features dense spikes of deep blue flowers with a dark purple stripe on each petal. Floating atop erect, lance-shaped bright green leaves, this beauty blooms for 2-3 weeks in mid-spring. Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck!
Symbols of peace, commitment, and beauty, hyacinths are wonderfully fragrant, spring-flower bulbs boasting colorful flower spikes packed with a multitude of florets. They have been developed from Hyacinthus orientalis, a species named in 1562, and which originates in central and southern Turkey, North Western Syria, and Lebanon. Introduced to Europe during the 16th century, hyacinth’s popularity sparked Dutch bulb growers to breed more than 2,000 cultivars by the 18th century. Treasured by gardeners for their heavenly fragrance, Hyacinths are extraordinarily rewarding every spring with their bright cheery blossoms warming our souls from the previous winter months.
