Hyacinth
FillerSpring
The hyacinth is a spring bulb flower whose star-shaped florets crowd densely along a plump stem. Its fragrance is deep and generous enough to be used in perfume; a single stem is enough to tell you the season has turned.
The story of its meaning
The Blue Hyacinth means "Calm love". Named for Hyacinthus, the beautiful youth of Greek myth, it carries in its blue a stillness like a feeling that deepens without fanfare.

When to gift it
For confessing a quiet, long-held affection, or for an early Spring Picnic bouquet. For someone who loves fragrance, there is no better gift.
Pairing tips
Build a cool-toned spring pairing with Purple Iris and Delphinium. Its densely packed tower silhouette holds both volume and height among rounder blooms.
