Description
Have you ever seen such a pretty shade of ice blue? We hadn’t, which is why we were thrilled when we were approached by an eminent Dutch hyacinth grower who offered us some bulbs to test in our gardens. Let’s just say that seeing is believing! We were absolutely delighted with its performance of Hyacinth 'Blue Eyes'. The florets opened white with delicate blue veins, and then the whole bloom took on the icy blue look you see here. We’re in love! 'Blue Eyes' hyacinths are perfect in every way.
In our opinion, Hyacinth 'Blue Eyes' is the best pale blue hyacinth on the market today, but it’s still very rare indeed. If you want to be among the few to have Hyacinth 'Blue Eyes' bulbs, we advise you to book them from Farmer Gracy early. Limited quantities are available, and you won’t find this little winner anywhere else.
