Hyacinths are beautiful flowering plants known for their vibrant colors and sweet fragrance. They belong to the Asparagaceae family and are native to the eastern Mediterranean region. These bulbs bloom in spring, producing clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that can be purple, pink, white, or blue. Hyacinths are popular in gardens and as indoor plants, often used to brighten up spaces. Caring for hyacinths is relatively easy. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade. After blooming, the leaves should be left to grow until they yellow, as this helps the bulb store energy for next year's flowers.
