Pleasant Hyacinths
Hyacinths bring us the sweet fragrance which makes our working hours in spring gardens so pleasant and enjoyable. There is no need to use them in formal beds, for they can be planted in clumps among low-growing perennials, in the foreground of your shrub border, or irregular masses wherever space permits.
In the second and third years after flowering, the spikes are usually small and not graceful and lend a colorful touch to a bouquet or arrangement.
