Hyacinth Aiolos

Hyacinthus orientalis ‘Aiolos’ is a classic, richly scented hyacinth with dense, upright spikes of pure white, star-shaped florets that open with a faint creamy blush and brighten as they mature. An early- to mid-spring bloomer with sturdy stems, Aiolos delivers one of the most powerful sweet fragrances in the spring garden, making it a favorite for walkways, entryways, containers, and fresh-cut arrangements.
