Hyacinthus 'Delft Blue' (Prepared) Bulbs

The Hyacinth 'Delft Blue' (prepared) bulbs produce clusters of star shaped, porcelain blue flowers. This Hyacinth is highly scented making them excellent for cut flowers.

Hyacinths referred to as "prepared" are given this name because they have been readied for early blooming. This process involves cooling the bulbs at below freezing temperatures for approximately a week during the summer.

The Delft Blue Hyacinth will flower in December/January and is suitable for planting in sunny and partially shaded locations. These bulbs require well drained soil and should be planted approximately 10cm deep. Hyacinths can be left in the ground over the winter time.

Some Hyacinth bulbs can cause skin irritations so it is recommended that gloves are worn when handling.
