Introduction
The Netherlands has a long and storied history, especially when it comes to the cultivation of plants. While we are known for our tulips, there is much more to the Dutch plant world than flowers. In this article, we will explore some of the most interesting aspects of Dutch botany.
Dutch plant (Hyacinthus orientalis) is a bulbous perennial with a thick stem and deep green leaves.
Dutch plant (Hyacinthus orientalis) is a bulbous perennial with a thick stem and deep green leaves. The name Dutch in this context refers to the Netherlands, which is where these plants were first cultivated and exported from. Dutch plants are generally hardy perennials that require cold winters to survive; they grow best in USDA zones 4-8, but can sometimes be found growing outside their normal range as well.
It has beautiful flowers in different colours.
Hyacinths come in many colours, from purple to yellow, white to pink and even blue. They also come in different sizes: small or large and even tiny miniatures! Hyacinths are also available in a wide range of shapes; some have an upright habit while others are more prostrate. The different forms include the following:
- bell-shaped (the most common) or
- bud form (with a narrow throat narrowing to a flared base). The flowers may be tightly closed or slightly open when you buy them, but they usually open up within two days of being planted outside
The plant has become popular because of its sweet fragrance.
The main reason for the popularity of dutch flower is its sweet and strong scent. The plant’s essential oil is used in perfumes, candles, aromatherapy and even in some food products.
The smell of dutch flower can be compared to other flowers such as roses or jasmine but it has a deeper aroma that makes it stand out even more than those two popular flowers.
They symbolize rebirth, devotion, and royalty.
The three plants you may have seen at one time or another are the tulip, hyacinth, and daffodil. These flowers symbolize rebirth and devotion, as well as royalty. They’re all bulbs that grow in winter but bloom in early spring when there’s still snow on the ground.
And while these plants are now associated with Holland and its people—the Dutch actually love them so much that they even added them to their flag—they originated elsewhere: Turkey for the hyacinth; Persia for the tulip; central Asia for the daffodil (though some say China).
Hyacinths have been around since the 15th century.
Hyacinths have been around since the 15th century. They were first cultivated in ancient Greece, and were named after the Greek god Hyacinthus. The name hyacinth is a Greek word meaning “hyacinth flower” (though it’s also sometimes called a jonquil). The ancient Greeks believed hyacinths were a symbol of rebirth, so they planted them at gravesites to remember their loved ones on this day.
There are mainly 5 species of Dutch plants in Western culture .
Dutch plant (Hyacinthus orientalis)
Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica)
Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides italica)

Hyacinths are the most common type of dutch plants.
Dutch plants are a type of bulbous plant that originated in the Netherlands. Dutch plants have been around since the 15th century and they’re known for their sweet fragrance. They’re most well-known for their petals, which can be blue, purple or white (or any combination thereof). Here’s a list of five species of dutch plants:
- Hyacinthus orientalis (commonly called “Oriental hyacinth”)
- Hyacinthoides non-scripta (the very first flower to bloom in spring)
- Muscari botryoides (commonly called “Musk grape hyacinth”)
- Scilla siberica (also known as Siberian squill)
- Ornithogalum pyrenaicum
Conclusion
In this article, I wanted to share with you some of the best known and most successful plants from Dutch nurseries. Most of these Dutch plants are not only popular for their aesthetic appeal but also for their medicinal properties, which makes them ideal for use in a wide range of situations.
