Product Description - Hyacinth Delft Blue
The Hyacinth 'Delft Blue' is perhaps the most iconic of all blue spring bulbs, celebrated for its exquisite, porcelain-blue color that recalls the world-famous Dutch Delftware pottery. These highly fragrant, dense flower spikes emerge in early-to-mid spring, creating an intense sensory experience in the garden. Each bloom is tightly packed with star-shaped florets, providing a rich, saturated color that pairs beautifully with yellow narcissi or early tulips. Whether planted in formal garden beds, woodland edges, or forced indoors in decorative pots, 'Delft Blue' offers a sophisticated look and a sweet, heady scent that defines the arrival of spring.
Key Features
- Appearance: Dense, symmetrical spikes of rich, porcelain-blue florets with a slight violet undertone; stunning, classic form.
- Landscape Use: Perfect for borders, rockeries, or mass planting in beds where its intense fragrance can be fully enjoyed by pathways and entrances.
- Versatility: Excellent as both a garden perennial and a favorite for indoor forcing; adds a touch of classic, upscale beauty to any floral arrangement.

How to Plant - Hyacinth Delft Blue
Planting & Care Instructions
Hyacinths are hardy spring-flowering bulbs valued for their dense, highly fragrant flower spikes. They are ideal for borders, flower beds, pots, balcony boxes and indoor forcing in hyacinth glasses.
- Planting time: Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September to December, before the ground becomes deeply frozen. Hyacinths generally flower from April to May, depending on the variety and local climate.
- Position & soil: Choose a position in full sun or partial shade. Plant in rich, loose and well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water tends to collect.
- Planting depth & spacing: Place the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards. For hyacinth bulbs, size 15/16 cm, plant approximately 10–15 cm deep and 10–12 cm apart.
- Watering: Water lightly after planting to settle the soil. During active growth, keep the soil moderately moist when necessary, but avoid waterlogging.
- Growing in pots & forcing: Use containers with drainage holes and a well-drained potting mix. For forcing in a hyacinth glass, position the bulb above the water so that the base of the bulb does not remain submerged.
- After flowering: Remove faded flower spikes, but leave the foliage until it naturally turns yellow and dies back. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season.
- Returning each year: Hyacinths can return and flower in following years when grown in suitable conditions. Over time, flower spikes may become slightly smaller or less dense than in the first season.
