Description
We challenge you to try finding this gorgeous double flowered hyacinth variety anywhere else in the UK! 'Blue Tango' hyacinths are related to the deeper blue 'Royal Navy' and the two go together beautifully. The double florets add a baroque frilliness, and the soft blue shade of Hyacinth 'Blue Tango' makes it the perfect foil for any other flower colour in your garden. Hyacinth 'Blue Tango' is a rarity, but we’re happy to say we’ve secured a limited number of top-quality bulbs for the UK market. Whether you’re a connoisseur of the unusual or just love the way it looks, reserve your bulbs ahead of the planting season. Only the lucky few will be able to get a peep at 'Blue Tango'!
Cultivating Hyacinth bulbs with double florets can be a challenge and therefore we can provide Hyacinth 'Blue Tango' in limited numbers for the UK market only.
