{"product_id":"col-add-hya-flo-tro","title":"Hyacinthus orientalis (Hyacinth) – Fragrant White Flowering Bulbs (3 Plants in a Floral Trough)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHyacinths bring a sweet, heavy scent and tidy spikes of white flowers to the house in late winter, and this floral trough arrives with 3 white hyacinth bulbs already planted and growing together in it. Hyacinthus orientalis is one of the best-loved scented spring bulbs, so it makes a welcome gift or a centrepiece for a table or windowsill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bulb sends up a single upright stem with a dense spike of white flowers above bright green, strap-like leaves. The flowers open from February to April and are noted for their fragrance. These are prepared bulbs that have been brought on for early flowering, so a bright, cool room gives the longest display. A warm room makes the stems flop and shortens the show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3 plants arrive growing in the decorative trough, so there is no planting to do. Stand it somewhere bright and cool indoors, keep the compost moist but never waterlogged, and keep it inside until the frosts have passed. Once flowering has finished, let the foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be planted out in the garden, where they are fully hardy and will flower again in spring, though the spikes come looser and smaller than the first year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHyacinth bulbs can irritate the skin and are not to be eaten, and they are recorded as a skin irritant for pets too, so wear gloves when handling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hyacinth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hyacinthus orientalis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, single-stemmed with a dense floral spike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windowsills, tables, gifts and spring displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green, strap-like leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, cool position indoors while flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep indoors until the frosts have passed; after flowering the bulbs can be planted out in the garden, where they are fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep compost moist but not waterlogged; let the foliage die back naturally after flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepared flowering bulbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68098302673116,"sku":"COL-ADD-HYA-FLO-TRO","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_6313f8d6-d478-4e13-bde9-54b378d2e8b0.jpg?v=1794092614","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-add-hya-flo-tro","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
