    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Hyacinthus 'Gipsy Queen' has spikes of fragrant, peach flowers. For anyone who loves fragrance, hyacinths offer one of the sweetest and most intoxicating perfumes of the spring season. Use them in containers or in the garden. They are long-lived forming nice clumps over time. They will come back year after year though might produce less dense flower heads in their 2nd and 3rd seasons before bulking up again to full size spikes.

    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)
