Their sweet scent and striking spikes of densely packed flowers make Hyacinths a classic choice—but have you ever heard of a creamy-yellow hyacinth? 'City of Haarlem' is a hyacinth with a difference, and it’s sure to add both cheer and fragrance to dull late-winter days. Plant Hyacinth 'City of Haarlem' in containers for a movable feast of eye-candy, force them for early flowering in hyacinth bulb glasses or pop them into beds for a striking colour display.

Happy in full sun or light shade, Hyacinth 'City of Haarlem's only other requirement is good soil drainage. Garden like a pro with this winner of the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
