Description
The Hyacinth ‘Apricot Passion’ displays charming blooms in soft peach-apricot shades, accompanied by a subtle fragrance that enriches any spring garden. Its gentle pastel colors complement mixed bulb arrangements elegantly. This spring-flowering bulb, belonging to the Asparagaceae family and native to the Mediterranean, reaches about 25 cm in height and 10–12 cm in width.
Plant bulbs from October to December in plains and November to January in hilly regions to enjoy flowers in February–March and March–April, respectively.
Environment
Hyacinth bulbs thrive best in well-drained loam soil enriched with compost or leaf mould. Water moderately to maintain moist—but not waterlogged—conditions. They prefer full sun but can also flourish in partial shade, with planting depths of 5–6 inches. Suitable for cool, partially shaded environments, their optimal temperature range is between 10 to 18 °C. During the growth phase, apply a balanced NPK fertilizer or bone meal to support healthy bulb development.
Landscape Use
Grape hyacinths are good for planting in rock gardens, in the front of beds and borders, or along walkways and paths.
