Hyacinthus Blue Trophy

Elegant, richly coloured and wonderfully fragrant, Hyacinthus 'Blue Trophy' is a magnificent Dutch Hyacinth producing dense flower spikes of vibrant cobalt-blue blooms that bring bold colour and unforgettable perfume to the spring garden.

The sturdy flower heads are packed with dozens of waxy, star-shaped florets, each releasing the classic sweet fragrance that has made hyacinths one of the world's most treasured spring bulbs. The vivid blue flowers retain their colour beautifully throughout the flowering season and provide a striking contrast against their fresh green foliage.

Ideal for borders, containers, patio pots and formal spring displays, 'Blue Trophy' also performs exceptionally well as a cut flower, filling the home with its rich perfume. Its intense blue colouring pairs perfectly with white varieties such as 'Carnegie', soft pinks like 'Pink Surprise', or deep purples including 'Purple Voice' and 'Woodstock'.

Whether planted in generous drifts or elegant containers, this outstanding variety delivers a spectacular combination of colour, fragrance and spring charm.

A superb hyacinth that lives up to its name by producing a truly prize-worthy display.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant Hyacinth bulbs in autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.

Where to Plant:
Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Hyacinths are excellent for borders, containers, patio pots and can also be grown indoors for winter flowering.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant bulbs approximately 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) deep.
• Spacing: Space bulbs about 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) apart.
• Soil Prep: Improve the soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter. In heavy soils, add grit to improve drainage.

Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. During active growth, keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged.

Aftercare Tips:

• Remove faded flower spikes once flowering has finished.
• Allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this feeds the bulb for the following year's flowers.
• Apply a balanced fertiliser after flowering to encourage strong bulbs.

Top Tip:
Plant 'Blue Trophy' alongside white, pink or deep purple hyacinths for a spectacular display of contrasting colours and exquisite fragrance throughout spring.
