Burpee’s Showy Hyacinths 
Royal 
Scarlet 
Hyacinths are easily grown out-of-doors in beds or borders. Plant the bulbs from 4 to 6 in. 
deep, according to the texture of the soil. Protect during the winter with a 3 in. layer of 
straw, leaves or coarse manure to prevent alternate freezing and thawing of the soil. 
This covering should be removed promptly with the first warm days of spring. Large 
beds of Hyacinths always make a fine showing. 
Bedding Size Hyacinths 
In naturalistic planting, size of the spike is not as important as in formal beds, 
and for that reason many gardeners prefer this size, which is guaranteed to bloom. 
These bulbs are ideal for planting in the foreground of shrubbery or in the per¬ 
ennial border.
