How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
This small but very important bulb is the landscapers dream. Every really good bulb display includes them. It's because planted close together, these little jewels create a true carpet of deep vivid blue, and are the perfect foreground contrast for almost any larger bulbs. A river of Grape Hyacinths in front of a bed of golden daffodils or red tulips makes the display twice as dramatic. Curving beds of these blue beauties are a mainstay of the famous gardens in Holland and here in our own public parks. You can easily do the same thing at home. Just plant in the Grape Hyacinths! They never disappoint.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent.

"They speak for themselves. Everyone loves the little strikes of vivid color. So fun to see them late spring among the contrasting Daffodils. They also look adorable in pots and so easy to grow!"
"I planted 250 bulbs one afternoon - because if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing - and they really showed out this spring. They bloomed after the daffodils were done here in zone 7, and they looked adorable in all the daffodil greenery. Bloomed equally well in sun and shade, the shaded ones about 10 days behind the others. Great for macro-photography. Charming as cut flowers in the tiniest Mason jar you ever saw. Long lasting blooms, hardier than the wild ones that pop up in the yard. A gorgeous shade of cornflower blue. It's May, and the shady ones are just dying back after they've bloomed well over a month. Can't wait to see them next spring."
"I planted these all over the place and I'm looking forward to them naturalizing"
"Came up and flowered in both sun and shade. Didn't mind soggy winter conditions. Grape Hyacinth leaves usually appear well before the flowers emerge but are very frost hearty. The flowers in full bloom even survived two nights of below freezing temperatures that frost damaged other plants like hydrangeas. The deer ignored leaves alone but munched the flowers. Recommend using deer deterrent when they first start blooming to deter hungry browsers. Might not be the deer's favorite food, but the hyacinths bloom do early when food sources are scarce. Best massed in a large group because the individual flower stems are small. Looks good with woodland phlox and purple and white violets, which bloom at the same time. Will crowd out timid native ephemerals like Spring Beauty."
