Description

Not common but always spectacular, a good yellow hyacinth is a glory of spring. This classic, named after a beautiful city in Holland, assures bright spring sunshiny color every day! Fragrance is just as strong as all the others, and the color is a wonderful spring surprise.

City of Haarlem has another special quality many gardeners really love. It is much more perennial' than most of the group, and in fact, this year, it won a coveted spot in the top five hyacinths tested by Cornell University in several locations for 'staying power.' City of Haarlem returned faithfully in upstate New York, and even in the South, for at least three straight years. That's a big deal for a hyacinth.

Comments about Hyacinth Bulbs City of Haarlem:

Yellow?? It's not really yellow but sort of creme. I'm a bit disappointed because there is no big difference between this "City of Harlem" and the white "Carnegie". I planted them together in the same bed and I can't really tell the difference!
