Miss Saigon Hyacinth

Miss Saigon will steal the show in your spring garden with deep purple blooms and heavenly scent. Hyacinths can be planted in containers or in the ground and are perfect for cutting to create spring bouquets.

Planting Hyacinths Daffodils may be the symbol of spring. Tulips add dramatic color. But it is the hyacinths that bring the perfume. One of the most powerfully fragranced blooms in the flower kingdom is the justly famous Dutch hyacinth--the result of hundreds of years of hybridizing a lovely little wildflower from Turkey--now an upright torch of incredible color and unmatched perfume.

Plant your hyacinth bulbs close together for a dramatic display, either in groups of one color or as a rainbow of several shades. Many gardeners think they look best in close groups of 3, 5 or more. Hyacinths must have good drainage, so be sure to plant them where they'll never be in standing water. With some shade, the flowers will last longer than in full sun. And next spring, don't forget to stop and smell the hyacinths!
