Winter: window flower box

A burst of vibrant colour is a sign of life, the perfect antidote to winter’s grey and gloomy skies. Available in lemon, yellow, pink, blue and white, hyacinths flower from late winter to early spring and are a remarkably long-lasting bloom. Each bulb produces only one flower, but each flower head is made up of many individual fragrant flowers. We filled a window box with a mass of plants in individual pots. Once the hyacinth has finished flowering, lift out the bulb, trim old roots and leaves and store in a cool, dry place for next year, when it will come to life again.
