Instructions
Top Tip
For vibrant blooms, fertilise hyacinthus bulbs with a balanced fertiliser before they bloom and remove spent flowers to encourage more growth.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, hyacinths planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Hyacinth bulbs should ideally be planted in early autumn in a spot that enjoys full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-draining soil. Using a trowel or bulb planter, dig one hole for each bulb leaving 15-20cm between holes. Place the bulbs around 10cm deep in the holes, ensuring the pointed side faces upwards. Backfill the holes, firm down the soil, and water in well.
