Potting loose Hyacinth bulbs is a great way to create a stunning and fragrant display both indoors and outdoors.In stock just now we have loose Hyacinth bulbs in Delft Blue, Yellow City of Haarlem, Janbos, Red and Pink Frosting.
Although these will not bloom for a few months, planting them now (up until mid October) in peat (for indoor use) then storing in a dark place for a few weeks will ensure you give them a head start. You should ensure that they are kept in the dark until green shoots appear, then transfer to a COOL room with lots of light. Transfer to a warm room once flowers begin to appear - perfect for Christmas.
Indoor Hyacinths will make a great gift and look great in glass bowls, vintage dishes and terracotta pots alike!
For planting outside - hold off until mid October (no later than mid Nov) then plant approx 8 inches apart and 2-3 inches deep. These will flower in the Spring.
