'White Pearl' is a classic white hyacinth with densely set spikes on sturdy stems. Flowering lasts three to four weeks, with a fresh, sweet fragrance. Timelessly beautiful in the garden, in a pot and as a gift.

About this variety

Pure white, a clear structure and an unmistakable fragrance: 'White Pearl' is the hyacinth for anyone who likes things simple. The star-shaped flowers sit closely on the spike and form a compact column. In spring sunshine they almost gleam. Depending on the light, the white looks snow white or slightly ivory.

At 20–30 cm tall, 'White Pearl' is versatile: in the bed among tulips and daffodils, in a pot on the balcony or as a houseplant in spring. Together with 'Pink Pearl' or blue hyacinths it creates classic combinations. In front of dark yew or box, the white looks particularly clear.

Flowering lasts three to four weeks. Bees collect pollen and nectar in March. In a pot 'White Pearl' makes a lovely small gift, and in a vase it smells fresh and floral. Voles and deer mostly avoid hyacinths. Ten bulbs are enough for two medium pots or a fine group at the edge of a bed. Because the stems are stable, the spikes usually stay upright even in wind and rain.

Planting

Plant the bulbs in autumn, ideally from September to November, at a depth of 10–15 cm. Leave 12–15 cm between them and point the tip upwards. In heavy soils a little sand in the planting hole helps water drain away. Sun to partial shade is right. Wear gloves while doing so, as the bulbs can cause skin irritation.

Care

Remove withered flowers, but only cut back the foliage once it has yellowed. This allows the bulb to store enough reserves for the following spring. After flowering, it is best to move potted plants into a garden bed. Wear gloves when handling them, as hyacinths can irritate the skin.
