Insights
For a Christmas display it is advisable to plant these in September as they do require at least 10 weeks in the dark. Introduced in 1910, this is still a popular variety of hyacinth, prized for its bright, pinky-red, star shaped flowers and sweet scent. It is a recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence.
