Know before you buy
Yes, these bulbs are considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, the scent and taste of hyacinths are generally unappealing to deer and other common garden pests.
Hyacinth 'Gypsy Queen' is hardy in zones 4 through 8. Because they naturalize well even in warmer climates, they are a reliable choice for gardeners in zone 8 who want a consistent spring display.
For a dense, professional look, space your bulbs about 4 inches apart. Since each package contains 10 bulbs, you can easily create a small, impactful cluster in a container or a short, vibrant section of a garden border.
These bulbs perform best in full sun to partial shade. If you live in a warmer climate, providing some afternoon shade can help the salmon-apricot blooms last longer during the mid-spring season.
Absolutely. 'Gypsy Queen' is a florist-approved variety prized for its unique color and powerful fragrance, making it an excellent choice for fresh floral arrangements.
