Hyacinth Special Indoor Collection 4
SFC14
A fragrant pageant of colour unfolds—six bold hyacinths in lilac, pink, deep rose, cobalt blue, crimson red, and snow-white.
Dense flower spikes fill pots or borders with rich scent and spring splendour. Strong bulbs ensure even growth. Plant in well-drained soil for blooming brilliance each March and April.
Care Guide
Once planted the pots need to be put in a cool, dark place, keeping the soil moist. Forcing will take between 12 and 16 weeks or when the shoots are 2’’ to 3’’ high. At this stage the pots should be brought out of cold storage into a cool unheated room. Turn the pots daily in order to keep the stems straight and strong. When the foliage and buds are well developed move the pots to a bright sunny position. This 2nd stage takes between 3 to 4 weeks

Gentle Giant
N0178
Bold but beautifully balanced - white outer petals stretch wide, brushed with yellow at their base.
The central cup erupts in ruffled orange, glowing like a sunrise. Each Narcissi 'Gentle Giant' bloom stands proud, ideal for generous swathes along paths or large spring displays. Size with subtlety.

Sir Winston Churchill
N0279
An intensely scented and long-stemmed Daffodil which is often grown for cutting, thanks to its pretty ruffled, multi-headed blooms.
Strong, thick stems mean that Narcissus ‘Sir Winston Churchill’ stays aloft in the border, even on windy spring days and has been granted a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS thanks to its reliable garden performance and desirable looks.
Ivory petals bear flashes of gold and open up in layers to reveal the neat, fully double flowers in April.
Plant in large groups and swathes through the border for the most impact.
