Besides they only last for a few weeks and then everything else will take over. Enjoy the colour and the fragrance while you still can. :)heather @ whats blooming this weekhttp://www.whatsbloomingthisweek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-54521428592099189562010-03-28T17:08:53.172-04:002010-03-28T17:08:53.172-04:00I planted a few hyacinths and they came up but don...I planted a few hyacinths and they came up but don't do well.

I love looking at unbalanced design done right, but I can't seem to get the hang of it. I want to plant en masse or in lovely floating drifts of color, but I always fall victim to the urge to put "one here, and one here and one here." Got a touch of OCD I guess.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-2966650722216893632010-03-28T13:44:07.735-04:002010-03-28T13:44:07.735-04:00Is this a rhetorical question, or did you really w...Is this a rhetorical question, or did you really want to know how we plant our hyacinths?
