Are you also fond of hyacinths?

Did you know that, according to Greek mythology, the hyacinth got its name when Apollo was teaching Hyakinthos how to throw a discus? Unfortunately, things went awry, and Hyakinthos was hit and died. Where his blood dripped onto the ground, flowers grew, and these became hyacinths

Glass vases of different shapes and sizes are standing in the windowpane. In the middle of these vases stands a transparent blue glass vase with a bouquet of white, apricot, blue and purple hyacinth.

How warm?

Feel free to keep hyacinths cool overnight to achieve better longevity during the blooming period.

A bouquet of hyacinth is at the forefront in shades of purple, pink, cerise, and white in a backdrop of purple with.

How much water?

Water regularly to keep the soil moist. If the stem starts leaning to one side, you can support it with a flower stick.

Pine cones are sprinkled about a deep window sill amongst glass vases in different shapes and sizes. The vases contain a sortiment of hyacinth in various stages of bloom.

Well-being

Place your hyacinths in a bright location, but not in direct sunlight. They thrive both in windows and a bit inside the room.

On a wooden front porch stands a low black ceramic pot with three white hyacinth. Behind it stands a silver water bucket that contains pine branches interwinded with a string of lights. Two white teddy bears are perched in the bucket atop the pine. Standing on its length behind the bucket, is a woode crate. A lantern with a glowing candle is standing ontop of the crate. To the right of the bucket and crate is a large black urn that contains a green-apricot colored hydrangea. The facade of the house i gray painted wooden panels. The front door is black and framed by square windows.

Give the hyacinth a long life

If your hyacinth is on the verge of blooming too early, you can halt the flowering process by placing the plant in the refrigerator. Keep the soil moist during this time and take it out at room temperature when you want it to bloom. It can stay in the refrigerator for several weeks.

Strong fragrance

Hyacinths often have a strong fragrance. The flower can be troublesome for many allergy sufferers; in fact, it is registered as one of the worst allergy-inducing flowers by the Asthma and Allergy Association. However, there are varieties that have a milder scent. It is mostly the white hyacinths, such as the regular White Pearl, that are a bit milder.
