Christmas is the time when you will usually see hyacinths grown in pots, however, they can be grown in the garden and will produce flowers in the spring.
Are you a fan of the smell of hyacinths? Post a comment below and tell us what you like about these brightly coloured plants >>>
The bulbs are grown in Holland, where they are striving to develop new cultivars as Ken Crowther found out when he spoke to Joost Penning.
J.S. Pennings de Bilt’s bulbs can be purchased in the UK through Blom Bulbs, of Melchbourne, Bedford, or through Farmer Gracy and EU customers are able to order online through this website.
