Not quite "red"...

Used the Photoshop action Retro Love by pseudonymfreak

I bought these hyacinth bulbs years ago because the label said they were "red". Well, they're more of a deep magenta. Pretty, but not red.

Does anyone know of a truly "red" hyacinth? I'm curious if they actually exist or if we gardeners simply wish them to be so.

Pin It!

  1. Can't tell you about red hyacinths...I am not much of a gardener. But those magenta ones sure look awesome.

  2. *drool* I'm not a huge fan of magenta in too many flowers, but in a hyacinth - yes! I've not seen a true red either.

  5. OMG! This beats red by a mile, IMHO. These are absolutely gorgeous & dramatic and I'll bet they smell delicious too.

  6. I have never seen or even heard of a Red one. But I must say that the one you have is just a beautiful color. I planted some last fall, but they are blue, I can't wait to see them.
