Hyacinth flower
The hyacinth flower is a spring-blooming bulbous perennial, in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. It is widely known by its common name, hyacinth. The hyacinth flower is a bulbous plant with a delicate fragrance. It is often used in floral arrangements, but is not a flower in its own right.
To grow hyacinths, the bulb must be planted in well- draining soil. To make the soil a little looser, add sand, compost, or bone meal to the bottom of the pot. Hyacinths can take several years to grow to flower size, and should be planted in the spring. After they bloom, it’s necessary to separate them from their parent plant so they can grow and bear fruit.
Hyacinth flower meaning
The yellow color of the Hyacinth flower means jealousy. If you dream that you have seen a hyacinth, it means that someone you love is jealous. A yellow Hyacinth could also mean that you are not happy about something. This is also connected to the myth about the god Zephyr. In addition to jealousy, the yellow flower also indicates disapproval and rashness.
The white hyacinth flower is also associated with purity and peace, and is a symbol of love and peace. It can also represent a wish for healing. It is also associated with royalty and a new start, and can convey a sense of regal meaning and elegance.
Hyacinth flower meaning is largely based on its color. However, there are several other meanings associated with the white hyacinth flower.
Hyacinth flower care
Once the blooming season is over, hyacinths will start to throw out their young sprouts and need to be moved to a bright place. Ideally, the hyacinth bulb should be planted in the late autumn before the first frost. However, you can plant hyacinths indoors or in a flower pot. Hyacinth flower care is similar to that of most other plants.
When the hyacinth bulb is beginning to wither, the stalk will need to be pruned gently to prevent damage to the leaves. Once this process is complete, the upper portion of the hyacinth can be cut off to promote bulb growth. Once the upper portion of the hyacinth has completely dried, you may remove it. Hyacinths do not need pruning after blossoming, as they gather the nutrients and store them in the bulb, so the top part should be left intact.
Hyacinths are pricey purchases, and you should do your research before buying any new plant. The key to a successful hyacinth grower is to understand these bulbs critically, learn about their requirements and what to hope for. In this article I will give you an overview of how these bulbs are grown and how to care for them successfully in your own home.
