Planting
Hyacinthus
Plant these bulbs in fall.
These bulbs require a well-drained soil. If they must be planted in heavy soil, it would be a good idea to mix some sharp sand into the soil.
Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 15 cm (6 in) deep and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Hyacinths bulbs can cause skin irritation, therefore wash your hands after planting.
Growing
Hyacinthus
Close placement to the house allows you to enjoy the fragrant aroma from the bulbs inside the house as well as in the garden.
These bulbs are great for containers and can be used for indoor forcing.
Care
Hyacinthus
These bulbs are deer resistant and work great in areas where deer or rodents are a problem.
Fertilize just before they start blooming.
Pick some flowers for a bouquet and enjoy the beautiful fragrance.
Remove the flowers when they are spent. Otherwise the plant will divert energy from building up the bulb, which is necessary for next year’s display."
Winterizing
Hyacinthus
After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
These bulbs come back for several years.
