Gipsy Queen is a striking heirloom hyacinth with salmon pink flowers and an intoxicating fragrance that commands attention in any garden. This Hyacinthus orientalis cultivar reaches full bloom in 70 to 85 days after fall planting and thrives in hardiness zones 4 through 8. Each bulb produces a single, densely packed spike of blooms, so planting in clusters of 10 or more creates the dramatic visual impact this variety truly deserves.

The salmon pink color is luminous and warm, and the scent is so phenomenal that a single cluster can perfume an entire corner of your garden. Plant these bulbs in fall before the first hard frost, and they'll reward you with stunning spring blooms in partial shade or full sun. Each bulb needs room to develop, so space them 3 inches apart for the most robust flowers.
Gipsy Queen shines in spring gardens where its fragrance and color can be appreciated up close. Plant it in containers, beds, and borders where you'll walk past and catch its remarkable scent. The blooms are exceptional for cutting and bringing indoors, where the perfume fills a room with ease.
