Hyacinthus orientalis 'City of Haarlem' | City of Haarlem Dutch Hyacinth

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Hyacinthus orientalis ‘City of Haarlem’ produces dense, upright flower spikes filled with softly rounded florets in warm primrose-yellow tones that deepen slightly as the blooms mature. Blooming in mid spring, the flowers release a strong, sweet fragrance that carries easily through the garden. Glossy, strap-shaped green leaves form a compact base that supports the sturdy bloom stem.

Introduced in the late nineteenth century through Dutch bulb breeding, this historic cultivar remains popular in spring displays. It performs well in borders, containers, and mass plantings, where fragrance and gentle color brighten the season. The blooms are also well suited for indoor forcing and cut arrangements.
