HYACINTHS
The Hyacinth originates from the Eastern Mediterranean. In addition to the wonderful scent, Hyacinths are pre-eminently the color makers in the spring garden and they guarantee the real spring feeling. A Hyacinth also flowers for quite a long time, even up to three weeks, depending on the location. The Hyacinth flowers from bottom to top.
Buying hyacinths
At QFB Gardening, you buy only the best quality and size hyacinth bulbs. With hyacinths, the size of the bulb is important. If the bulb is too small it does not flower, but if the ball is too big the flower will be too heavy and fall over. We offer you the best-sized hyacinth bulbs to ensure you enjoy these fabulous flowers. Buying hyacinths from QFB Gardening guarantees you will have the most beautiful hyacinth flowers in spring. Order your hyacinth bulbs between March and November and plant them in October/November/December before the first frost. The bulbs will flower in the following spring and spread a lovely fragrance through your garden.
History of the hyacinth
The name Hyacinthus is derived from Greek mythology. Hyacinthus, an athlete who was adored by Apollo, was killed in an accident during a discus throwing competition. From his blood is said to have grown a flower we know today as the hyacinth. The hyacinth is a bulbous plant of the asparagus family that originated in the eastern Mediterranean. Later, hyacinths were grown in France and then brought to the Netherlands. This was an ideal area for the cultivation of hyacinths. Over the years, more than 2,000 different varieties have been developed. Hyacinths are available in the colors white, blue, yellow, pink, red, purple and more recently a purple hue so dark that it looks black.
