Tips and Facts
- When storing your bulbs in the refrigerator be sure to keep them away from ripening fruit. The gas emitted by ripening fruits can destroy bulbs.
- Bulbs will rot in standing water so when planting avoid areas prone to flooding such as, bottom of hills or under drainpipes.
- In the Victorian language of flowers the Hyacinth flower symbolises sport or play and the Blue Hyacinth signifies sincerity.
- There are between 50 to 100 species of daffodil in cultivation, with a wide range of sizes, colours and bloom times available.
