My usual taste runs to quiet and calm and simple and elegant, so my love of hybrid hyacinth bulbs makes no sense. They are big and bold and super fragrant. I think they were one of the first bulbs I got to know as a child and one of the first bulbs I ever forced\u2026and they never disappoint. I have been forcing some every year for probably ten years or more. I also added some to the memory garden last year and added more this year, as well. Here are some of the hyacinths that I\u2019ve grown over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
