Description

Although the softer shades remain popular, there’s no beating the strong carmine-red of Hyacinth 'Jan Bos' – at least when it comes to visual impact. It’s also very unusual to see such a strong colour in hyacinths, and while the spikes of brightly coloured blooms provide a feast for the eyes, you’ll be able to enjoy them with your eyes closed – thanks to the delightful scent they exude.

Brighten up garden paths and edges or grow them in pots for an unbeatable display. Your Dutch bulbs are primed for success. Just add water! You can even grow them in water if you have a bulb glass.
