Description

Kit with Blue Hyacinth Long a tradition in Holland for fragrance and indoor winter bloom, this kit includes an elegant "growing vase" of blue crackle-style glass, specially made to receive a hyacinth bulb. Simply fill the glass with water according to the instructions on the box, pop in the hyacinth bulb, and sit back. They grow and bloom quickly like magic.

The beauty of these is that they not only give you the dash of spring during winter indoors with beautiful flowers, you have the heavenly fragrance too! Save the growing vase for use year after year.

I send my Mother your flowers on Mothers's Day and other special occassions as she lives in an RV, is elderly and enjoys receiving these flowers due to the ease and care of growing.. as she watched them grow, she calls me to give me reports of how much they 've grown, and then.. how beautiful they are.. she loves the thought..

Comments about American Meadows Blue Hyacinth Indoor Growing Kit - Growing Kit:

Gave as a Christmas gift and when opened, the bulb was rotted.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: We apologize that your experience with the Indoor Hyacinth kit was not what you expected. We understand that many people purchase these as gifts to be given at a later date, and while live bulbs and plants can be difficult to store, we are always happy to delay shipment of your order to arrive closer to the gift giving date.

Comments about American Meadows Blue Hyacinth Indoor Growing Kit - Growing Kit:

Had a little better luck with blue hyacinth bulbs than the white ones, but it's a 50/50 shot you'll get a nice flower. Same bulbs planted at the same time and stored properly for the required amt of time yielded different results every time. And I received several broken glass jars for the bulbs, but American Meadows immediately replaced them.

Comments about American Meadows Blue Hyacinth Indoor Growing Kit - Growing Kit:

Used this as a gift to my customers. Attractive and well-liked gift. Then, I grew one to see what it was like--disappointed. Directions were complicated and much more care involved than "just add water". My bulb got slimy and never bloomed. Won't use as a gift again.
