Hyacinth Aqua

Hyacinth Aqua

of respondents would recommend this to a friend
Enticingly fragrant with an enchanting coloration, Aqua is one of our newest hyacinth additions and we're certain it is destined to become a customer favorite. Upright panicles are full to bursting with light to mid blue florets that fade to snowy white toward the edges. The clear blue shade mixes wonderfully with blooms of white, pink or purple. Aqua also makes a beautiful display all on its own, planted in small (or large) groups along a walkway, border or rock garden. Hyacinths make excellent cut flowers and are quite easy to grow—even for beginner gardeners.

I bought the Carnegie, Miss Saigon and Aqua hyacinths, and red Devon daffodils and love how they popped up this spring! Lots of people have stopped to comment on them and I'm so happy with how they look.

My Hyacinth Aquas turned out great! I planted them in the fall with tulips. They all sprouted and the color was pretty close to the picture. They were among the first to flower this spring and I got numerous compliments about them. I highly recommend these for a bright start to spring!
