Which hyacinth has the strongest scent?

A very strongly-scented variety, Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ has been a popular choice for many years. The inky sky-blue flowers are laden with intense perfume. Grow these bulbs indoors on a windowsill or fill outdoor pots to enjoy in March and April.

Which hyacinths do best in shade?

Hyacinth bulbs perform best when planted in a sunny spot. These scented, spring-flowering bulbs are native to the eastern Mediterranean and, as such, appreciate lots of sun and warmth to encourage strong flowering. They may tolerate light shade for a single season but are unlikely to perform well in subsequent years.

How can I force indoor hyacinths for Christmas?

Forcing hyacinths for indoor festive displays is a wonderful tradition. You will need to buy 'prepared' bulbs, which are available in autumn. Late August is the perfect time to begin ordering them. The pure white Hyacinth ‘Carnegie' is a classic for forcing, as its bright flowers are perfect for Christmas. For a beautiful contrast, Hyacinth ‘Pink Pearl' also forces exceptionally well. Remember to start the process in September for blooms in time for the holidays.

Can I reuse forced hyacinth bulbs?

Yes, you can enjoy your forced hyacinth bulbs for years to come. Simply plant them outdoors after they’ve finished flowering, and they’ll bloom again in following years. Even though they’re not suitable for forcing again, they’ll be perfect for your borders.
