HYACINTH
Our experienced growers use the latest growing techniques and carefully select the best
Hyacinth bulbs available—those most suitable for cut flowers—which we import from
Holland. We work to achieve the fullest, most impressive blooms possible.
FARM FRESH: The Hyacinth consists of a myriad of tiny flowers adorning each stem,
ranging from 25-70 per stem, depending on the variety. The amount of florets is
influenced by the size of the bulbs, the nutrients that were available to the bulb
in the fields in Holland the year before, as well as temperature treatments given
after digging up the bulbs, etc. To ensure our Hyacinths achieve the required
length we maintain a “perfect” climate for Hyacinths from the moment we
plant them, store them in our coolers, and grow them in our state of the art
greenhouses. The minimum length for high quality Hyacinth flowers should
be 12", but we aim to maintain 14” to 16".
BUNCHES:
Standard bunch size: 5 stems.
Also available as Consumer Bunches.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS:
■ Mixed Hyacinth-Tulip Bunches
■ Hyacinth-on-the-Bulb
CARE & HANDLING: DO NOT cut stems. The white area on the bottom of the
stem is actually part of the bulb that has been cored (yes, like an apple). The
very bottom “basal plate” of this area allows the flowers to drink water, and
should be retained. Place in a clean vase filled with water and floral food. Keep
in a cool location out of direct sunlight and drafts. Refresh water as needed.
