Bulbs

Hyacinthus orientalis 'Woodstock'

Woodstock Dutch Hyacinth

Hyacinthus orientalis 'Woodstock' produces dense flower spikes packed with star-shaped florets in deep pink tones with subtle wine-red shading. Blooming in mid spring, the blossoms open gradually from the base upward, releasing a rich, sweet fragrance that lingers in cool air. Glossy, strap-shaped green leaves form a compact base that supports the upright stem and emphasizes the saturated flower color.

Developed through Dutch bulb breeding from eastern Mediterranean species, this cultivar is widely used in seasonal displays.

Design tip

Spring bloom is its headline moment, and it reads best in a group rather than as a single plant. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
