& Hyacinth Midnight Mystic 3 Bulbs

Hyacinth ‘Midnight Mystic’ is a rare and highly sought-after variety, with large flower heads which are densely packed with sumptuous almost-black blooms which emit a powerful, sweet fragrance. A breakthrough in breeding, Thompson & Morgan spent 16 years developing just three mother bulbs to result in this striking, mysterious hyacinth with heavenly scent.
