Warm yellow flowers add cheer and a wonderfully sweet fragrance to beds, borders, window boxes and containers. Growing 8-10" tall, Hyacinth City of Haarlem blooms in early to mid-spring and attracts pollinators.  It's ideal for planting in formal beds or scattered in the border between ground covers and perennials or in small clumps in front of evergreens. Hyacinth bulbs are easy to grow and perform best when planted in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to pass it by.

I was disappointed the color was an extremely pale yellow instead of the Bright yellow pictured. That being said, they were still beautiful, smelled amazing, and grew very well.

Matures white

They do start off as a nice pastel yellow (nowhere near as vibrant as the photo) but mature much closer to white. They were yellow for about 30% of the bloom time.

The details of this flower are insanely beautiful & they smell amazing. I don't like how they topple over. They look better planted in large quantities close together.
