Why we like this plant
Hyacinth 'Royal Navy' has a commanding presence, its dark, velvety flowers adding elegance and contrast among softer spring tones. It pairs beautifully with white hyacinths or pale narcissi for a classic, refined scheme. The fragrance is sweet and enveloping, making it a delight near doorways, patios, or in spring arrangements brought indoors.
Planting guide
Plant bulbs in autumn, 10 to 15 cm deep and 10 cm apart, in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade.
Care tips
Snip off spent flower heads but leave the foliage to die back naturally. In colder areas, cover soil with a layer of leaves or compost through winter, or lift bulbs once the leaves have faded.
