Planting and Application:
Great throughout any garden bed or border, these are low-growing edging and look fantastic in groupings throughout rock gardens, pollinator beds and around the base of larger trees, shrubs and structures! These are darlings in protected containers and planters outdoors, or as forced indoor décor! The flowers look lovely in spring bouquets too!
Intersperse them throughout perennial beds and cottage borders or even cutting gardens where the large blooms mingle among larger plants without disturbing each other's root systems. Appreciating the shade later emerging plants cast once the blooms are spent. For lovely color and spring fragrance, plant Hyacinths where you can enjoy their sweet scent.

#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. They need well-drained soil with sun to partial sun.
- Full Sun & Part Shade
- Moderate Moisture
- Enriched, Well-Drained Soil (Rots in Soggy Conditions)
- Mulched Beds
- Deadhead After Bloom is Spent
