There are many color
choices from which to
choose in the group
of Hyacinthus to
help make that perfect
‘garden combo’.
Here, Hyacinthus
orientalis ‘Carnegie’
helps to support
the leading role of
the daffodil, N. ‘Pink
Silk’ and the tulip, T.
‘New Design’. It also
adds that Heavenly
fragrance!

HYACINTHUS ORIENTALIS
Family: Liliaceae
Nickname: Hyacinth
bulb companions: early-mid spring Daffodils and Tulips;
Muscari; Anemone; Chinodoxa
other companions: Pansy; Myosotis; Euphorbia; Bellis
Many tubular, slightly reflexed florets
cover the 8”–10” stems making one large flowerhead;
their rigid, uniform structure lends them
for use in geometric designs; available in a myriad
of colors and each very fragrant; for bedding and
forcing; plant where the natural, sweet fragrance,
reminiscent of spring, can be enjoyed; pest resistant;
7”-11” tall; 5 per sq. ft.; whz 4–8; 15/16cm unless
otherwise noted; (we think this is the best size
for bedding without the need for staking). Hyacinthus
often need extra time to dry properly and don’t
arrive here until late September. If you have to
have your bulbs early, please be prepared to have
these particular items backordered and shipped at
a later date.
