{"product_id":"col-add-hya-whi-tro-p","title":"Hyacinthus orientalis (Hyacinth) – Pink Scented Spring Bulbs, Ready Planted (5 Plants in a White Trough)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePink hyacinths bring classic, richly scented spring colour to a windowsill, hallway or sheltered patio, and this ready planted white trough is simply placed, watered and enjoyed. Five Hyacinthus orientalis are growing together in the trough, each sending up a dense, upright spike of pink flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHyacinths are among the best-loved spring bulbs, and the fragrance of a few flowering together can fill a room. The bright green, strap-like leaves make a neat frame for the flower spikes. This makes a ready-to-grow gift or an easy way to add seasonal colour indoors or outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants arrive growing in the white trough, so no extra planting is needed. Keep the trough in a cool, bright spot for the longest display, as a warm room makes the stems flop and shortens the flowering. Keep the compost lightly moist and never waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce flowering has finished, let the foliage die back naturally to feed the bulbs. They can then be planted out in the garden, where they are fully hardy and will flower in spring in later years, though the spikes come looser and smaller than in the first forced year. Until the frosts have passed, keep the trough inside. Hyacinth bulbs can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling them, and do not eat them.\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\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, compact, with a single flowering spike from each bulb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windowsills, indoor displays, sheltered patios, gifting\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 Late winter to mid-spring (January to April, depending on conditions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool, bright light while in flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy in the garden once flowering has finished.
