Hyacinth Paul Herman
Hyacinth Paul Herman Paul herman Hyacinths

Hyacinth 'Paul Herman' is a truly elegant variety, celebrated for its soft lilac-pink blooms and intensely fragrant flowers that bring both beauty and perfume to any space. Whether you're brightening a garden bed or adding spring cheer indoors, this versatile hyacinth is a perfect choice.

Each sturdy stem produces a dense spike of bell-shaped, starry florets, radiating a gentle, romantic hue that complements both soft pastel palettes and bolder spring colour schemes. The scent is unmistakable — rich, sweet, and deeply floral — making 'Paul Herman' an ideal plant for sensory enjoyment.

Perfect for both outdoor borders and containers, this variety also performs beautifully when grown indoors in pots or bowls. Force the bulbs for early blooms and enjoy a burst of colour and fragrance on windowsills, tabletops, or conservatories. Wherever it’s placed, this hyacinth brings a sense of freshness and seasonal joy.

Typically reaching a height of 20–25 cm (8–10 inches), 'Paul Herman' is compact enough for smaller spaces while still offering a strong visual presence. It pairs wonderfully with other spring favourites like narcissi, muscari, or tulips, or can be planted in bold swathes for maximum impact.

Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded position. With just a little care, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular spring show and an aroma that lingers in the memory long after the blooms have faded.

Planting Hyacinths outdoors in the garden

  • If planting in the garden, find a position that is in full sun or partial shade. 
  • Hyacinths like to be planted in well-drained soil that is moderately fertile.
  • Bulbs should be planted in the Autumn for flowering in March - April.
  • Plant your bulbs 10cm (4") deep and 7-8cm (3") apart.

Planting Hyacinths outdoors in containers 

  • If planting in containers, use any good potting medium including a mix of 2 parts John Innes No.2 compost mixed with one part grit.  Make sure your pot is free draining.
  • Plant your bulbs 10cm (4") deep and 7-8cm (3") apart.
