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 the bulbs after planting to settle the soil, then keep the soil lightly moist throughout the growing season. Avoid overwatering, as bulbs can rot in soggy soil.
How to Plant
Plant Hyacinthus bulbs in well-draining soil, 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart. Choose a sunny location. Dig holes, place the bulbs with the pointed end up, and cover them with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
