Potted hyacinths bring their festive color indoors Move over poinsettias and amaryllis.
The hyacinth is joining you as a favored holiday flower. White is pulling ahead as the most popular color among Americans for the holidays, followed closely by rich blues, then pinks. Watching the plants grow and the flowers unfold is lots of fun for young and old. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Potted bulbs are generally sold in small plastic pots.
