Hyacinthus 'Pink Pearl' – Pack of 3 Bulbs – Planting & Care Guide

About Hyacinthus 'Pink Pearl'

Hyacinthus orientalis 'Pink Pearl' is a beautiful spring-flowering Hyacinth producing dense spikes of highly fragrant deep rose-pink flowers, often with slightly paler edges.

Its combination of strong colour and wonderful fragrance makes 'Pink Pearl' an excellent choice for spring containers, window boxes and garden borders. The compact flower spikes also work beautifully alongside Tulips, Narcissus and other spring bulbs.

Each pack contains 3 bulbs, ideal for planting together to create a concentrated display of colour and fragrance.

Planting Guide

• Plant outdoors in autumn, ideally from September to November.
• Choose a position in full sun or light partial shade.
• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil.
• Avoid permanently waterlogged ground.
• Plant bulbs approximately 10–15cm deep.
• Position with the pointed end facing upwards.
• Space approximately 10–15cm apart.
• Plant all three bulbs together for the strongest display.
• Water after planting if the soil is dry.
• Wearing gloves when handling Hyacinth bulbs is advisable, as they can irritate sensitive skin.

Planting in Containers

'Pink Pearl' is particularly attractive in spring patio pots.

• Choose a container with good drainage holes.
• Use good-quality, free-draining multipurpose compost.
• Plant the bulbs fairly close together without allowing them to touch.
• Position the bulbs with their pointed ends upwards.
• Cover with compost and water thoroughly.
• Keep the container outdoors in full sun or partial shade.
• Avoid allowing pots to remain permanently waterlogged.

Combine with Muscari, Crocus, Tulips and dwarf Narcissus for a colourful mixed spring display.

Hyacinths require relatively little maintenance.

• Water during prolonged dry periods while actively growing.

• Avoid excessive watering.
• Feed with a high-potash fertiliser after flowering if bulbs are being retained for future years.
