The best varieties of hyacinths

Sustainable Homestead: Hyacinths are versatile flowers - they can be grown both at home in pots and in the garden in flower beds and in containers.

Hyacinth - the flower of rains
 

Hyacinths - these multi-colored flowers fill our garden with juicy spring colors and an unforgettable enchanting aroma year after year! The homeland of this flower is Asia Minor, where hyacinths bloom during the warm spring rains.

In our gardens, we begin to feel their delicate, delicate and surprisingly persistent aroma in early spring, as soon as the sun begins to warm up well. Their inflorescence-sultan, collected from many small flowers in the shape of stars, bloom from April to May and delight us for 2-3 weeks. Usually, the blue varieties of hyacinths always bloom first, then pink, white, red, lilac varieties begin to bloom, and later yellow and orange varieties bloom.

 

The brightest and most fragrant

There are many large-flowered, small-flowered and terry hyacinths in a huge palette of colors.

Here are some of the most flavorful, lush, and disease-resistant varieties:

"Aqua" - it is a real rain flower with shades of blue, lilac and purple and resembles a frozen water drop;

Red Magic - this is a hyacinth with an unusual, red-pink color with contrasting white eyes at the base of the petals and flowers up to 3.5 cm in diameter with narrow, slightly curved petals at the ends;

"Raphael" - a hyacinth with a very exquisite aroma and an original shape, in which each bell flower is as if cut to the base into narrow petals-stripes, which does not allow it to fully open, like other varieties of hyacinth and this unique form of inflorescence, with petals hanging down (like as if slightly disheveled by the spring wind), makes it unusual and refined;

"Pink Pearl" - this is a very popular hyacinth with a dense inflorescence of large pink flowers with long (up to 7 cm) inflorescences and looking unusual and decorative;

"Aida" - bright ultramarine hyacinth with very large flowers up to 4 cm in diameter, with a spherical inflorescence and very resistant to the vagaries of the weather.

What do hyacinths love and dislike?First, let's define what hyacinths love:

• grow in sunny elevated places that are warmed up throughout the summer;
• loose sandy loam or loamy soil with a neutral or slightly alkaline reaction;
• moderately moist soil throughout the growing season, otherwise they will quickly fade;
• timely loosening and weeding;
• regular feeding - the first one is carried out immediately after the appearance of sprouts (ammonium nitrate); the second - at - budding (ammonium nitrate 20 g / m2, superphosphate 40 g / m2, potassium chloride 30 g / m2); the third - after the end of flowering (superphosphate and potassium chloride, 40 g / m2).

​

Hyacinths do not like:

• waterlogging of the soil, as the bulbs can rot;
• grow in the shade, since in this case you will have to dig up hyacinth bulbs annually;
• storage of bulbs at low temperatures;
• early dates of planting in the ground;
   

What else you need to know about hyacinths:

Cutting flowers is best done in the morning before watering, they should be in full bloom. Faded flowers must be cut off, while leaving a shoot. If you plant hyacinths correctly, where they like to grow, that is, in sunny elevated places, then you can them leave to grow without digging for 3-5 years... Planting hyacinth bulbs should be carried out in the fall at the end of September - at the beginning of October, when the soil temperature will be from 6 to 100C, since hyacinths need to take root before the onset of frost in order to overwinter normally and please us in the spring with their lush flowering.

Medium-sized bulbs are selected for planting in the ground, and large ones are best used for forcing. It is recommended to plant hyacinths in a sand capsule. This is done like this: pour a small layer of sand into the hole; if the soil is dry, then pour water and, when the water is absorbed, we plant an onion in the hole, slightly pressing it; from above we cover the onion, first with sand, and then with soil. After that, it is good to mulch the plantings with a layer of peat (5 cm). And with the onset of stable cold weather, hyacinths must also be covered with dry leaves with a layer of 20 cm or other insulating materials.

Universal flowersHyacinths are versatile flowers, they can be grown both at home in pots and in the garden in flower beds and in containers. Hyacinth is one of the most popular crops for forcing. If you want flowers for Christmas (flowering in December - January), plant the bulbs in August - September. For flowering in March, the bulbs are planted in October. Oriental and miniature hyacinths are best suited for forcing.

Diseases and pests of hyacinths

The main causes of diseases of hyacinths in poor-quality planting material or in improper agricultural techniques are thickened plantings, heavy waterlogged soil. With yellow bacterial rot, the plant lags behind in growth, stripes and spots appear on it, the tissues of the bulb become licky and acquire an unpleasant odor. Diseased plants are destroyed, and the hole is etched with bleach.

Against root mites that gnaw out the tissue of the bulb, hyacinths are treated with coloid sulfur (40 g / 5 l of water) before budding. Contributes to the appearance of the pest of stagnant water, therefore good drainage is needed.

In places where the stem nematode is damaged, leaf tissues become discolored, yellowish spots form on it, diseased leaves turn brown and dry out. The fight is reduced to the destruction of diseased plants, etching and disinfection of soil and equipment.

Blooming at the same time, hyacinths create an elegant and festive impression. It is only necessary to select varieties that are combined both in appearance and in terms of flowering. In today's review, the main species and varieties of hyacinths are presented with their brief characteristics.

What types are there

Hyacinth is a perennial bulbous flower. At the moment, three main types of this plant are recognized.

Previously, up to 30 species were included in the genus of hyacinths, however, after the reorganization of the botanical classifications, most of them passed into another genus. Currently, there are only three left in it:

Oriental hyacinth (H. orientalis), the most common species from which all currently existing decorative varieties are created. The wild form grows in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, has a thin peduncle with rarely located blue, pink, yellowish-white flowers, has a strong pleasant smell.

Hyacinth Litvinov (H. litwinowii), up to 25 cm high, with bluish spreading leaves, which are wider than that of the eastern hyacinth, and pale blue flowers, strongly cut, with protruding stamens. It grows in the mountainous regions of Turkmenistan and Iran.

Transcaspian hyacinth (H. transcaspicus), with one or two stems up to 20 cm high, fleshy bare leaves, identical along the entire length, and light blue flowers, 4-10 pcs. in a racemose inflorescence. It grows in the Kopetdag mountains in Turkmenistan.

Some sources also refer the last two types of hyacinth to another genus, hyacintella.

A number of popular garden plants called hyacinths do not belong to this genus:

Mouse hyacinth (Muskari), a genus of small bulbous plants of the hyacinth subfamily, with small blue, purple, rarely white, barrel-shaped fragrant flowers, collected in a dense, multi-flowered raceme. The genus includes more than 30 species, many of which are widely grown in flower gardens. Propagated by the autumn division of nests of bulbs, which are formed over the summer in large numbers (up to 15-20 pieces of babies) around the mother bulb.

Water hyacinths. Varieties

Water hyacinth, or eichornia (eichornia), comes from the tropical regions of America and is a plant with leaves collected in a rosette, adhering to the surface of the water due to a porous tissue located in a swell at the base of the leaves. Long, up to half a meter, roots are completely in the water. The flower, pink, blue or purple, is similar in shape to a hyacinth, for which it got its name.

Water hyacinths in their homeland, in the tropics, they grow rapidly, cover the surface of the reservoir with a dense layer, disrupting their oxygen regime and hindering the movement of ships. In the middle lane, they are far from being so aggressive, they can be bred in decorative ponds, provided they winter in a warm room. Common aquarium plant. It has the beneficial property of purifying water by absorbing insecticides, phosphates, phenols, and other harmful substances.

Oriental hyacinths. Varieties

Oriental hyacinth (H. orientalis) or Dutch - the most common, from each bulb grows one peduncle from 15 to 23 cm in height, on which up to 30-35 flowers bloom on thick pedicels. Blooms on average 2-3 weeks.

Whitish oriental hyacinth (H. orientalis var.albulus), or Franco-Roman, differs from the Dutch in shorter (up to 15 cm), and weaker peduncles, white inflorescences and the ability of the bulbs to produce 2-3 fragrant flowers.

East Provencal hyacinth (H. orientalis var. Provansalis), differs from the previous subspecies in the pink color of flowers.

From oriental hyacinth and its varieties by intraspecific crossing and selection of deviating forms, all currently existing varieties were obtained. Over several centuries of persistent breeding work, more than 400 of them have been created. At the moment, the International Directory of Hyacinth Varieties Registration includes 170 names, of which about 60 are industrially reproduced. Many varieties are over 80 years old, but they are still considered promising and continue to be included in the modern assortment ...

Hyacinths do not have a clear division into groups, like tulips or daffodils. Usually they are classified by flower shape as simple (H. single), double (H. double), multi-flowered (H. multiflora); by the timing of flowering as late, middle and early; by color into 6 groups: white, pink, red, blue, lilac and purple, yellow and orange. There are also varieties of hyacinths recommended for forcing or growing in the garden.

The division by flowering time is rather arbitrary, usually the blue ones bloom first hyacinths, followed by lilac, red, pink, white, and, finally, the last - yellow and orange. Terry varieties bloom later than others. At the same time, the earliest varieties of hyacinths bloom only 10 days earlier than the latest ones.

The most commonly used division of varieties by color.

Hyacinth Is a bulbous perennial plant of the Asparagus family. From Greek, the name "hyacinth" is translated as "rain flower". It is a versatile plant that can be grown at home and in the garden. Hyacinth bulbs consist of fleshy grassy leaves with a thick flowering stem 30 cm tall. After flowering, the stem dries up along with the leaves, and a bud forms on the stem inside the bulb, which then turns into a new bulb.
