The 'Hollyhock' double flower hyacinth available here in 3 bulb packs is a true garden maverick! This variety develops semi-double flowers that take on an unusual pink-red colour. Their fragrant blooms should convince you to grow them near to frequently visited places. We recommend to grow them on several spots, some of them in a sunny situation and others in partial shade. This simple trick will extend their flowering period.

The well-known and award winning variety looks exceptionally noble. Thick, not too stiff stalks appear among the shiny, bright green leaves. The stalks carry several dozens of flowers that are gathered in a cylindrical cluster. It looks exceptionally beautiful thanks to the fact that the single blooms are densely packed with petals who take a saturated carmine red colour. This variety is resistant to leaning even though it carries heavy flower clusters. This characteristics makes it stand out from other hyacinth cultivars.

Hyacinths are not too demanding when it comes to growing conditions. They only need a bright site that is not too moist. Their round bulbs covered with skins of various colours should be planted in a soil that has been enriched with compost or other organic fertilizer. In cold winter regions hyacinth growing sites should be covered with dried leaves or conifer twigs. In order to maintain the satisfying flower size, we recommend to excavate the bulbs in summer, dry them and plant again in autumn.

Hyacinths are often selected for the first spring flower beds. They are suitable for showcase locations and idyllic spots in home gardens. They also belong to bulb flowers that are most suitable for growing in pots and planters. Charming compositions in baskets and ornamental bowls can be placed indoors and outside buildings. They fit into rock gardens where they can become the main attraction of the spring season. You can also use hyacinths as cut flowers. The unique double red 'Hollyhock' variety will dazzle in such a role.
