Hyacinths are perennial bulbs celebrated for their bright color, fragrance and attractive, bell-shaped flowers. Considered one of the best spring bulbs to plant, the hyacinth is a harbinger of warmer spring days and with a heavenly scent that is unrivaled in the garden.
When thinking about planting combinations and ideas for your backyard, there are many different varieties of hyacinth to choose from, ranging from pure whites to royal blues to deep reds. If you would prefer something showy this year, and none of these colors appeal, fear not, as surely a Barbie pink display will turn heads. There are pink varieties available to buy from garden stores, such as this Cotton Candy Hyacinth Mix from Walmart. Hyacinths, it seems, are anything but subdued.
