Hyacinth ’Gypsy Queen’
Hyacinthus orientalis

This beautiful rich apricot hyacinth is one of our all-time favorites. Flowers on this treasured variety are looser than other varieties, giving it an airy quality that is ideal when flower arranging. Extremely fragrant blooms will last well over a week in the vase.
Please note: When cut, hyacinths ooze a clear sap that can cause skin irritation. Wear gloves when harvesting or wash hands after picking.
