It persisted for over 10 years and bloomed every year without fail. None of the dozen other cultivars in the trial persisted beyond three years. Hyacinths For gardeners interested in fragrance, the hyacinth is for them. These bulbous plants produce 12-inch tall blue, white, pink or yellow blooms which perfume the entire garden while in flower in early spring. In a well-drained site, they will persist for five years, or even more, if fertilized regularly.
Hyacinths are among the easiest bulbs to flower in pots in the home.
One bulb planted per four-inch pot provides fragrance for the entire home. Back To Top Crocus Like the daffodil, the crocus is a real survivor. It is available in shades of purple, blue and white. These are tiny plants usually only 4 to 6 inches tall. First blooms often appear through snow in late February.
