Hyacinthus is possibly our favorite spring flower with its pleasant aroma ( “too bad the tags aren’t scratch and sniff”-Anna ) and cheery pastel colors. Plant clusters of 5-10 (in the fall), water it in, hibernate the winter away, and in mid spring you’ll cure that spring fever as it pops its vibrant green foliage through your soil.
Available in pinks, purples, white, creams, and peaches, makes it a great accent to your spring planters. Recycle them by planting them that fall and repeat the process. This is also a great bulb for forcing. I was going to explain that process but I just found a great website with all the content I intended on filling your brain with, but since they did such a great job, I’ll just drop the link below.
Hyacinthus is not however, the only bulb that deserves the shout out. Add any bulbs to your spring planter to add that extra touch. Oh! Spring planters, how we have missed you. On that note, did you know we do planter classes? Cause we do. Anna ( is gonna hate me for calling her out ) is the master mind of all our magic and her work is incredible. I highly recommend attending at least one of our classes to learn the works of her art. Well, I think I’m just brain dumping now so I’ll add a period after this sentence and shut my computer.
I lied about shutting my computer, on accident. When I say “bulbs” please know that planting a bulb into your planter is not going to do the trick, you can either buy the near blooming bulb from a local garden shop..preferably ours…or you can transplant a couple of your own from the yard to a pot. Now I’m done.
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE
Yours truly,
