Gypsy Queen is a sophisticated hyacinth shade, not orange, not coral and not salmon, but a swirled blend of all three. Very pretty planted with white or with dark blue-purple shades.

Easy to force. These are extremely fragrant. Best if kept cool during root growth. Need to be planted soon. (18-19 cm round bulbs)
"If I could grow only one hyacinth," wrote Rand Lee in The American Cottage Gardener, "it would be this." He praised its "luminous" apricot color, the "melon undertone" of its "considerable fragrance," and "best of all" how it "naturalizes effortlessly" in his dry, zone-6a Santa Fe garden. 10-12", zones 5-8aS(10WC)
