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 'Prince of Love' has beautiful double pale pink flowers that are highly perfumed. It looks particularly good planted in 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.
