Hyacinth

Hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis) are popular spring-flowering bulbs cherished for their vivid colors and intense fragrance.

Origin: Native to the eastern Mediterranean (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon)

Mythology: Linked to Greek mythology, the flower is said to have sprung from the blood of Hyacinthus, a youth loved by Apollo

Flower Colors: Available in shades of blue, pink, purple, white, yellow, and red

Bloom Structure: Dense spikes of star-shaped flowers, typically 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm) tall

Bloom Time: Early to mid-spring

Fragrance: Intensely fragrant, with a sweet, perfume-like scent

Uses: Popular in gardens, floral arrangements, and perfume-making

Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8

Indoor Forcing: Often forced indoors for early blooms during winter

Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to partial shade

Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil

Planting Time: Plant bulbs in the fall, about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep and apart

Care: After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally for the bulbs to store energy for next season

Toxicity: Bulbs are toxic if ingested, so caution is needed around pets and children

Deer and Rabbit Resistance: Typically resistant to deer and rabbits
