{"product_id":"col-add-hya-whi-tro","title":"Hyacinthus orientalis (Hyacinth) – Scented White Ready Planted Bulbs (5 Plants in a White Trough)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhite hyacinths are loved for their elegant flower spikes and wonderfully sweet scent, and this ready planted white trough holds 5 of them, already growing together and prepared for flowering indoors. Hyacinthus orientalis has classic white flowers on upright, single-stemmed spikes, so it makes a lovely centrepiece for the home or a thoughtful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5 plants arrive growing in the white trough, so there is nothing to plant. Place the trough on a windowsill, table or shelf in a bright spot out of harsh direct sun, and the densely packed florets will open over late winter and spring. The strap-like, glossy mid-green leaves set off the white blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the trough somewhere cool and bright, away from radiators and other heat sources, because a warm room makes the stems flop and shortens the display. Water sparingly, keeping the compost just moist and never waterlogged, and turn the trough now and then so the growth stays even and upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce flowering has finished, let the foliage die back naturally. The bulbs can then be planted out in the garden, where they are hardy and may flower again in spring in later years, though the spikes are usually looser and smaller than in the first forced year. Hyacinth bulbs can irritate skin and should not be eaten, by people or pets, 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, Garden 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, single-stemmed spike with densely packed florets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windowsills, tables, shelves, seasonal decoration and gift giving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strap-like, glossy mid-green leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to spring\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 Cool, bright spot indoors while in flower, out of harsh direct sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bulb is hardy in the garden.
