Blooming in early to mid-spring, this vibrant Dutch Hyacinth reaches a height of 10-12 inches, thriving in full sun or partial shade. A recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it emits a rich fragrance that draws butterflies to garden beds and container arrangements. Naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, the Hyacinth “Jan Bos” makes a bold and elegant focal point in any landscape.
