Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Jan Bos Hyacinths in full or partial sun in the fall and prepare for its pleasant pink blossoms in spring! Hyacinth bulbs perform in full sun for best results and the strongest stems. Fall-planted bulbs need well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy and add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. Deadhead after flowers fade, but let the leaves remain so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Once the foliage yellows in the summer or fall, you can then prune it to the ground.
- Full Sun For Strongest Growth
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Mounds After Leaves Yellow
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
If you want to inject a bit more fun, color, and charisma into your garden, the Jan Bos Hyacinth is the plant for you. Order yours and we'll ship them in time for your fall planting date. Prepare to be tickled pink with your Jan Bos Hyacinths!
