{"product_id":"col-add-hya-vin-tro-b","title":"Hyacinthus orientalis (Hyacinth) – Fragrant Blue Spring Bulbs in Leafy Trough (5 Plants in a Leafy Vine Trough)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue hyacinths bring bold colour and a strong, sweet fragrance to a windowsill, doorstep or patio table, and this ready planted trough holds 5 of them growing together, so there is no potting to do. The botanical name is Hyacinthus orientalis, often sold as Dutch hyacinth or common hyacinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach bulb sends up a single upright spike of closely packed blue flowers above strap-like, mid-green leaves. The bulbs are prepared for indoor flowering, so the display can be enjoyed inside in the cool and bright during winter, and the scent will fill a small room. The plants are supplied in bud or bloom, depending on the time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the trough in a bright spot away from radiators and other heat sources, because a warm room makes the stems flop and shortens the display. Keep the compost moist but never waterlogged. Hyacinth bulbs can irritate the skin and should not be eaten, so gloves are sensible when handling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the flowers have faded, remove the spent spikes. The bulbs are hardy and can be planted out in the garden after the frosts have passed, where they will flower again in spring in later years, though the spikes will be looser and smaller than in the first forced year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hyacinth, Dutch Hyacinth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hyacinthus orientalis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-30cm tall and 8-10cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, compact flowering spike from a single bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strap-like, mid-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to mid-spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright light indoors while in flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bulb is hardy in the garden, but keep this forced display indoors until the frosts have passed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strongly fragrant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring flowering bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68098302247132,"sku":"COL-ADD-HYA-VIN-TRO-B","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/file_1bd45980-5b89-4ed0-9a91-c5cfd367e958.jpg?v=1794092596","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-add-hya-vin-tro-b","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
