Hyacinthus orientalis 'Royal Navy' is a highly sought-after hyacinth for its unusual double flowers in a unique shade of inky blue. Clusters of densely packed, rich deep-blue star-shaped flowers appear in early-spring on stems of 25cm high from a bed of glossy-green leaves.Hyacinth plants are deer and rabbit resistant and make fabulous cut flowers. Pick the blooms when just one third of the flowers are open to enjoy their beauty and perfume inside your home. The fragrance can be strong so consider where you place your vase or arrangement!Plant the bulbs 10cm deep in moist, well-drained soil in September or October, adding a handful of grit and you will be rewarded with a stunning show in spring.The hyacinth flower traditionally represents peace, commitment, and beauty. In Greek mythology, Hyacinthus was a divine hero and the lover of Apollo. Preferring to grow in sun and some partial shade, Hyacinthus orientalis 'Royal Navy' make a fabulous addition to other spring flowers in your borders and pots such as tulips, narcissus, and primulas. Hardy bulbous perennial.
