#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hyacinthus bulbs need to be planted in the fall before a hard frost in your growing zone. Place the bulbs with pointy ends up in 4-inch holes and 6 inches apart. In colder regions, plant 6 inches deep to keep them safe over winter. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results. They need well-drained soil with full sun to partial sun.
