Hyacinth - Gipsy Queen

Something I would like to recommend to everyone is to visit Holland during early spring and be met by an absolutely fantastic scent, namely the scent of hyacinths. With that said, why not try to recreate this at home? The hyacinth is in many ways underrated as it is not only beautiful, but also deer-resistant and wonderfully fragrant. We have two favorites in the range for 2023, namely this apricot-colored variety Gipsy Queen and a white ‘Carnegie. I can highly recommend both.

Grow Hyacinths

Both Christmas Flower and Spring Joy

When the year is at its darkest, hyacinths spread their fragrance indoors. But hyacinths are equally beautiful and easy to grow outdoors. They bloom vigorously in spring, are winter-hardy up to cultivation zone IV, and come back to the flowerbed year after year.
