Prepared Christmas Hyacinth Delft Blue
H2851
Description
Exquisitely scented, star-shaped florets of soft-blue smother the stems of Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue,’ as they burst into bloom, indoors at Christmastime.
Delft Blue holds a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for its exceptional qualities.
These specially prepared bulbs are designed to flower during the darkest depths of winter, when colour and scent are most welcome in the home.
Despatched in September, the bulbs should be planted shallowly in bowls or containers, with the green tip and section of bulb above soil level.
Hyacinth ‘Delft Blue’ is also ideal for forcing in water. Place each prepared bulb in the top of a hyacinth vase, with the base sitting above, but not touching water level. Roots will rapidly form, seeking out the water below.
For Christmas flowers, keep your containers in a cool, dark place until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.
