tiny florets on a short dense spike. The stems are smooth and contain a lot of water.
Hyacinth colors: hyacinth can be found in blues, purples, pinks and whites
Hyacinth and its use as a wedding flower:
Hyacinth is a very good flower for low arrangements – like a centerpiece or cake flowers, etc. Since the stems are not very long, they won’t show their best in large arrangements. Hyacinth can also be used nicely in hand tied bouquets.
Design Tip: The florets of a hyacinth can actually be used individual if wire-wrapped. Remove a few of them and they can add great details to boutonnieres and corsages
