What are Hyacinthus and where does the name come from?

The name Hyacinthoides is often used to refer to the scientific name of hyacinths. It is derived from Greek mythology, where the young prince Hyacinthus was transformed into a flower. Hyacinthoides is the name used in botany for the species, but for most people the term 'hyacinth flower' is more familiar. The hyacinth is a symbolic flower that stands for rebirth and spring.

The basis for a blooming garden

To be able to enjoy the beautiful hyacinth flowers in your garden, start with the hyacinth bulbs. These bulbs are planted in the autumn and develop into the beautiful flowers we know so well in the spring. Hyacinths have a special appeal due to their intense scent and vibrant colours. They come in a variety of shades, from classic white and purple to pink and blue.

Planting hyacinths

Hyacinths are usually planted in the autumn, from September to November. This gives the bulb enough time to develop roots before winter sets in. In some cases, they can also be planted indoors, but it is important to know that hyacinths need a cold period to flower well.

Hyacinths like a sunny location. A spot with at least six hours of sun per day is ideal for the flowers to bloom optimally. Make sure that the soil is well-drained so that excess water does not remain, which can lead to rotting of the bulb.

So how exactly do you plant the hyacinths?

Dig a hole about 10 cm deep. Place the bulb with the point upwards. Fill the hole with soil and press the soil lightly. Water the bulbs well after planting.

Why are hyacinths so popular?

Hyacinths are popular because of their rich colors, fragrant flowers and the symbolism they carry. They are often associated with spring and are widely used in flower boxes, garden beds and as cut flowers. The fragrant hyacinth flowers also make them perfect for indoors, for example as a houseplant. Hyacinths can fill your home with a wonderful scent and a colorful appearance.

Types of hyacinths

Hyacinths come in different colors, each with their own charm. Some popular types are:

- Blue hyacinth: The classic hyacinth that is known for its intense blue color and scent.

- White hyacinth: Elegant and subtle, perfect for a fresh look in your garden.

- Pink hyacinth: Adds a touch of romance to your garden with its soft pink flowers.

- Purple or lavender hyacinth: For a more refined and mysterious atmosphere.
