Hyacinths are fragrant and colorful spring bulbs that can flower successfully for several years if given proper care. Deadheading hyacinth blooms is an important step, and knowing how and when to do this is crucial if you want your bulbs to return year after year.
Many of the best hyacinth varieties produce brilliant blooms in a wide range of colors, including pink, yellow purple and blue. 'City of Harlem' is one of my favorites, blooming in a soft, creamy yellow, whereas 'City of Bradford', another favorite, produces lilac-blue flower spikes with a wonderful perfume that can fill the backyard. Proper care is needed to ensure your prized hyacinths will return.
