Fragrant Hyacinth Flower

Here you will be able to purchase hyacinth bulbs and plants & learn how to grow them to make your hyacinth garden or patio deck incredible.

Its easy to grow these flowers from hyacinth bulbs, I planted some woodstock hyacinth last year and when they died I just cut off all the dead foliage down to soil level and left them there.

Just recently and its now Feb 17 the bulbs stared growing again and my beautiful peach, pink and purple colored flowers are now about 5 inches tall but will reach up to 12 inches.

The hyacinth flowers also known as hyacinthus orientalis that grow very dense and compact on tall stems with long dark green spears which are its leaves shooting from the base of this hyacinth plant.

These Brightly colored stemmed flowers were once placed in the genus of Liliaceae. Now that they have become more popular and adored by many gardeners they have now earned their own category of genus called Hyacinthaceae.

Hyacinth plants are native to the eastern Mediterranean region all the way east to Iran and Turkmenistan and even a small not so known region called Anatolia.
