Hyacinth ‘Miss Saigon’ (5 bulbs)

Hyacinthus orientalis ‘Miss Saigon’ is an upright bedding bulb with deep wine-coloured flower spikes growing within the bright green leaves.

Growing to a height of around 25cm/10″, these ‘Miss Saigon’ bulbs will flower early in the spring for a bright and bold display that will grow over time as they naturalise.

These bulbs are perfect for planting in containers or pots such as window boxes. They can also be used at the front of an early spring flowering bed or border. They particularly excel when planted in clusters among other strongly coloured hyacinths such as ‘Carnegie’, ‘Peter Stuyvesant’ or ‘Aqua’. Hyacinth will also make long lasting cut flowers that can perfume an entire room.

Hyacinth tend to prefer a moist but well drained, acidic, alkaline or neutral soil, in a position of full sun or partial shade. Plant the bulbs 15cm/6″ deep and 15cm/6″ apart.
