Hyacinthus Orientalis 'Mixture The Blues'

Hyacinth

Hyacinthus orientalis 'The Blues Mix' reaches 8 to 12 inches tall, featuring a harmonious blend of blue and white florets densely packed on upright spikes. The varying shades of blue—from deep indigo to soft sky tones—create a striking mid-spring display. Its sweet fragrance attracts bees and butterflies, making it a valuable early-season nectar source. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, containers, and park landscapes, this variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, organically rich soil. It is deer-resistant, returning reliably each spring for a vibrant display.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hyacinthus Orientalis 'Mixture The Blues'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. For best results, plant in groups for maximum fragrance and visual impact.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Choose a spot with good air circulation to prevent disease.
Soil: Moist but well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Avoid heavy clay—amend with compost or sand if needed.
Watering: Water after planting, then only during dry spells. Avoid overwatering—bulbs are prone to rot in soggy soil.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Requires 10–14 weeks of cold to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and again in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Remove spent flower spikes after blooming. Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb.
Propagation: Naturalizes slowly by offsets. Lift and divide clumps every few years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Bulbs are toxic to rodents and deer, but wear gloves—handling may cause skin irritation.
