Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Big saturated purple spires full of scented trumpets, the Purple Sensation Hyacinth (Hyacinthus 'Purple Sensation') features jewel-tone amethyst clusters of divinely scented florets! The cupped vertical clumps of green foliage frame these mid-spring blossoms beautifully and create space-saving, clustering, naturalizing clumps of beauty throughout the sun garden.
Purple Sensation Hyacinths are adaptable spring-flowering blooms that are lovely in bouquets that will perfume your indoor spaces! Go one better and force these bulbs indoors for perfumed winter décor! Outdoors of course Hyacinths feed some of the earliest emerging pollinators!
Hyacinth sends up a lovely bunch of greenery and each small bulb produces a single bloom. Hardy and low-maintenance throughout USDA growing zones 5 to 9 and shining in the full sun. These fast-growing little perennial bulbs are among the first to arrive on the scene!
Planting and Application:
Use Purple Sensation for mass displays or in smaller clumps. You and all your pollinators will love them either way! Even container gardeners can enjoy these darling little blooms. Perfectly sized to tuck into your planters and patio pots. Indoors, you can force these easy-to-grow bulbs in a shallow dish or container for winter décor!
Hyacinth looks lovely when you line your garden beds as fragrant edging or popping up throughout your Rock gardens and Perennial beds. Also perfectly sized for indoor gardening, forcing, as gifts, and balconies! Purple Sensation Hyacinths multiply rapidly yet politely, so are an excellent selection for naturalizing!

- Fragrant Space-Saving Perennial Bulbs!
- Densely Growing Clumps of Spikey Foliage
- Gifts, Gorgeous Cut Flowers & Pollinator Friendly
- Indoor Forcing, Spring Accents, Beds & Borders, & Containers
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Hyacinths in full or partial sun in the fall for spring blooms with the strongest stems! Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy and add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Once the foliage yellows in the summer or fall, you can then prune it to the ground.
- Full Sun & Partial Sun For Strongest Growth
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Mounds After Leaves Yellow
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
