White Pearl is a classic hyacinth, a sparkling white that has been enjoyed for more than 60 years in gardens in Europe and here in the U.S. Fabulously fragrant, the green tinged buds open up the stem into 6-petalled stars. Plant enough for cutting and bringing indoors - you won't want to miss any of that scent.
