Hyacinth Mix – 20 Flower Bulbs (Size 14/15)

The hyacinth mix blooms in mixed colours from March through April. With 20 bulbs in this pack, you can fill a group of approximately 70 × 70 cm. Hyacinths stand out with their dense flower spikes and intoxicating fragrance that you can smell from metres away. Use them in pots by the front door, in window boxes and at the front of the border. Bulb size 14/15 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.

Planting and care
