Hyacinths are a popular choice for growing in pots indoors for a burst of colour and fragrance in spring. But they are equally valuable as outdoor plants, planted in autumn as with other spring-flowering bulbs.
Hyacinthus orientalis 'Chestnut Flower' is a compact heritage hyacinth variety, bearing double pink blooms with an intense fragrance. It's well suited to forcing for indoor use in winter, and looks particularly good planted at the front of the spring border, where it combines well with spring-flowering primulas and pulmonarias.
Hyacinth bulbs can irritate the skin, so wear gloves when handling them.
