Hyacinth ‘Midnight Sky’

Let there be contrast in your planting scheme, combining light or bright with a spot of dark and dreamy! Hyacinth ‘Midnight Sky’ certainly cuts the mustard when it comes to being the dark side. It’s about as close in colour to a black night sky as you can get, and of course it packs a punch in terms of fragrance for good measure. Imagine a group of these twinkling treasures paired with bright pink or white hyacinths, or accenting bright blue or purple if you’re sticking to a cool colour theme. Really, Hyacinth ‘Midnight Sky’ goes with anything so your creative flair can run riot with this one! 

Plant a good group of near-black Hyacinth ‘Midnight Sky’ and they’ll put on a show of celestial opulence for you in March/April to enjoy in the comfort of your own garden! Don’t let this hyacinth’s cosmic good looks intimidate because it’s just as easy to grow as any other. Plant in pots or borders in autumn, choose a position in full sun or part shade with free draining soil and wait for the magic next spring! We love the idea of planting these black hyacinths among Hyacinth ‘Carnegie’ to create a chequerboard effect; check mate!
