hyacinth fondant hyacinthus orientalis
The Fondant hyacinth is a strongly-scented variety that boasts soft pink flowers. Plant Fondant hyacinth bulbs in the fall for a mid-spring bloom lasting about 4 weeks. Fondant hyacinth bulbs can be planted both in indoor containers or outside in rows, clumps, and borders.
The soft pink flowers appear in Spring. Perfect for all your landscaping projects.
The early flowering blooms attract many pollinating insects to the garden and fragrance any Spring display with a honeydew scent.
Interesting Note: While a traditional method for preparing potato shaped into cylinders and roasted slowly in butter and stock, the Hyacinth variety is more attributed to the edible icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries.
