Hyacinths are an old favourite that are much loved for their big bright flowers and strong perfume. Perfect in the garden and patio planters or simply for seasonal home decor – with these you don’t need potpourri or air freshener as they’ll fill the air with their unmistakable perfume.

Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist. Move the plant to an area with partial sunlight or partial shade and temperatures of about 60 degrees F when the plants begin to flower, in order to keep the flowers for a longer period of time. If you purchased a potted hyacinth, begin care procedures from this step.
