Relatively large and with a delicious perfume, the purple trumpet-shaped flowers of this cottage garden favourite will add colour and fragrance to the spring garden. Ideal for bedding displays as well as growing in pots, the flowers are also popular for cutting. winter.

Our Garden bulbs are perfect for autumn planting in borders and containers for flowering in spring, but can also be grown initially outside and brought into the house to bloom.

Our Potted bulbs will be delivered in leaf for flowering shortly after, for display indoors or in the garden. Keep the bulbs moist during growing and flowering, but reduce the water once the leaves begin to die off naturally.

How to care for Hyacinthus orientalis Purple Sensation (PBR):

We always advise using gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs. Cut off the flower stalk at the base when the flowers fade. Once the foliage has died back, outdoor bulbs can be left in the ground to flower the following year.
