Yes, salvia will continue to bloom all summer, deadhead regularly unless you want to save seeds and provided it with a bit of shade during intense heat of May and June or else colour of the blooms will fade in full sun exposure.. till then they'll do fine :)

Yes Umar Bhai, Hyacinth is turning up in nice colors, especially the pink and red, and fragrance is awesome. I am growing it first time and it has surely earned a place.

Aur how about the rain Umar Bhai, where you in Mardan? :-)...it was insane here.

Hyacinth is looking great. Its my favourite one. Also try them in pots too and after bloom keep in room, the room would be filled with awesome fragrance. Ah what a fragrance they have. I am still not able to save the bulbs, tried couple of times.

Jan Bos (Red) was the my most favorite Hyacinth Orientals when i used to grew this great flower bulb.In 1995 when first time i saw this in Gulbahar nursery, Bahawalpur i was really amazed & grew them with great success. But when it comes to store the bulbs i really failed.The bulbs normally used to split into small baby bulbs after each flowering.That was the main reason i stopped Hyacinth after few years.Other wise the fragrance of Hyacinth & specially when there are 6 or 12 of same color in a tub is a true beauty. My second favorite was Pink Pearl (Deep Pink) & third was the Blue Jacket.Sweet memories all past away.
There is another species Spanish Hyacinth but its not very beautiful.
