I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Hyacinthus Orientalis 'Blue Jacket'

Hyacinth

Hyacinthus orientalis ‘Blue Jacket’ reaches 8 to 12 inches tall, featuring rich violet‑blue florets with deeper indigo centers, creating a bold, saturated mid‑spring display. Its densely packed, upright flower spikes release a strong, sweet fragrance that draws in bees and early pollinators as a valuable nectar source. Thriving in full sun to part shade and well‑drained soil, this variety is also deer‑resistant, making it a reliable choice for borders, beds, and spring containers.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hyacinthus Orientalis 'Blue Jacket'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 to 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end facing up. For best results, plant in groups for maximum fragrance and visual impact.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Choose a spot with good air circulation to prevent disease.
Soil: Moist but well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Avoid heavy clay—amend with compost or sand if needed.
Watering: Water after planting, then only during dry spells. Avoid overwatering—bulbs are prone to rot in soggy soil.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Requires 10–14 weeks of cold to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and again in early spring as shoots emerge.
Pruning: Remove spent flower spikes after blooming. Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb.
Propagation: Naturalizes slowly by offsets. Lift and divide clumps every few years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Bulbs are toxic to rodents and deer, but wear gloves—handling may cause skin irritation.
