Hyacinth Bulbs
Hyacinth are a highly fragrant spring flowering bulb that are available in a wide range of colours and suitable for growing in pots, borders or even rockeries. Fragrant Hyacinth bulbs produce spiky shaped flowers that really do make an impact, especially when grown in groups.
You can choose from specially prepared indoor flowering bulbs (which are treated to force flowering early in winter), top size 17/18cm bulbs (if you want the largest blooms possible outdoors) or the very popular bedding size 14/15cm bulbs (which are great for mass planting in borders).

FAQs:
-
What are Daffodil & Narcissus mixtures?
Daffodil & Narcissus mixtures are carefully blended packs of different daffodil varieties, selected to provide a mix of colours, shapes, heights, or flowering times. These mixes offer an easy way to create bold, varied spring displays without needing to plan combinations yourself. -
Which daffodil mixtures are available at J. Parker’s?
At J. Parker’s, we offer a variety of daffodil mixtures, including yellow-only mixes, bi-coloured blends, and extended flowering collections designed for colour from early spring into late spring. Look out for options like Mixed Naturalising Daffodils and Miniature Daffodil Mixes. -
Why should I choose a daffodil mixture instead of single varieties?
Daffodil mixtures provide instant variety and hassle-free planting. Many are designed for succession flowering, giving continuous blooms over several weeks. Mixtures also make it easier to fill larger spaces without needing to choose individual types. -
Are the bulbs in daffodil mixtures suitable for naturalising?
Yes - many of the mixtures at J. Parker’s are selected with naturalising in mind. Collections like the Mixed Naturalising Daffodils are ideal for planting in grassy areas, meadows, or under trees, where they can return year after year. -
Can I plant daffodil mixtures in pots and containers?
Absolutely. Daffodil mixtures, especially those featuring miniature varieties, work well in pots and patio planters. For best results, plant bulbs close together in a deep, well-draining container. -
When will daffodil mixture bulbs bloom?
The bloom period depends on the varieties included in the mix. Many of J. Parker’s mixtures are designed to cover the entire spring season from March through May, with a combination of early, mid, and late-flowering varieties. -
Do daffodil mixtures include fragrant varieties?
Some daffodil mixtures may include fragrant types like Jonquilla or Tazetta varieties, but not all. Check the product descriptions for details on which mixtures contain scented blooms. -
Are daffodil mixtures good for cutting?
Yes - many taller varieties included in mixed packs are perfect for cut flowers. For cutting, choose mixtures that include Trumpet, Large Cupped, or Double daffodils, which tend to have stronger stems and longer vase life. -
How many bulbs are included in your daffodil mixtures?
The quantity varies depending on the pack size and mix type. J. Parker’s offers a range of pack sizes, often including bulk packs for larger planting projects. Product pages specify how many bulbs are included. -
