Hyacinthe buds are opening this week and can be identified by color!
- Pale pink – ‘Grand Blanche Imperiale’ (1878)
‘Grande Blanche Imperiale’ and ‘Fire Beacon’ Hyacinthes
- Salmon – ‘Gypsy Queen’ (1927)
- Bright pink – ‘Vuurback’ or ‘Fire Beacon’ (1948)
I find that now that they are in bloom the bulbs are consuming much more water so I need to top off the water in the containers more often.
