Hyacinth Special Indoor Collection 1
SFC11
Description
A pretty, thoughtful, and tonal quartet of spring Hyacinths, designed to bring colour and exquisite scent into the home during the depths of winter.
The collection contains varieties ‘Pink Pearl,’ ‘White Pearl,’ ‘Blue Pearl’ and the carmine-pink ‘Jan Bos.’
These specially prepared bulbs have been treated to flower earlier than they would outdoors in spring and can be timed to bloom for Christmas. Despatched in September, these superior bulbs are best planted shallow; in bowls and containers of bulb compost, or placed in a special hyacinth vase above water then stored in a cool, dark place. Keep them there until the beginning of December when they can be brought out into the light.
'Jan Bos’ has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS for it's exceptional beauty and reliable qualities.
3 x Hyacinth Pink Pearl, 3 x Hyacinth White Pearl, 3 x Hyacinth Blue Pearl and 3 x Hyacinth Jan Bos.
Care Guide
Once planted the pots need to be put in a cool, dark place, keeping the soil moist. Forcing will take between 12 and 16 weeks or when the shoots are 2’’ to 3’’ high. At this stage the pots should be brought out of cold storage into a cool unheated room. Turn the pots daily in order to keep the stems straight and strong. When the foliage and buds are well developed move the pots to a bright sunny position. This 2nd stage takes between 3 to 4 weeks
