White hyacinths adds elegance to the Spring landscape

White hyacinths add grace and elegance to the Spring landscape. Yes, for greatest effect do not use in straight lines but rather juxtapose them in odd-numbered drifts with other Spring perennials. Then, use white only, and avoid other colors. Also, consider white grape hyacinths, and, of course, Galanthus, snow drops. Finally, recall that 'Mount Hood' is a spectacular white narcissus to use. "Hyacinthus Carnegie Densely packed, white flower spikes touched with cream have that captivating scent. Interplant 'Carnegie' with ‘Blue Jacket’. Over centuries of breeding to increase the size, abundance, and color range of Hyacinth flowers, one thing remained the same - their rich perfume. Modern varieties can look a little stiff if they're lined up in the garden, so spread them around, combining them with Pansies and shorter Tulips, such as 'Rosanna'. Plant the bulbs in full sun and rich, well-drained soil that stays warm and dry in summer when the bulbs are dormant. Order extra to enjoy indoors in winter (we provide full instructions for forcing cold-hardy bulbs)." Available from www.whiteflowerfarm.com
