Flowering hyacinth

Job of the week

Plant hyacinths in a pot

The sweet smell of hyacinths is one that lifts the spirit as a sure sign that winter has finally come to an end. Hyacinth bulbs are widely available in a broad spectrum of colours. Whatever their shade, they look spectacular planted on their own in a rustic terracotta pot. It's a quick and easy job with stunning rewards in spring.
