Description

The beautiful blooms of  'Hyacinth Blue' are a great choice for creating a breathtaking spring floral display. Hyacinths have developed a reputation for being very easy to grow both indoors and out, making it ideal for gardeners of all abilities.

Perfect for bringing early spring colour into the home, simply slip the planted pot into your favourite decorative container when they will come into flower from February. Once the flowers have finished, they can be planted back out into the garden.

Supplied as a pack 10 bulbs, size 14/15 ready to plant in autumn, growing to a height of 40cm and width of 10cm.

Top Tips

After flowering, potted bulbs can be planted in the garden. You can either plant them straight out, or you can save the bulbs until September and then plant them outside or pot them up again.

Which way up? Pointy end up, but don't worry, they soon right themselves in the ground anyway.

Care Information

Planting Advice for your Hyacinth bulbs:

  • Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
  • Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
  • They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they'll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
  • Leave them in the ground once they die back and they'll come back bigger and better each year.
  • While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Aftercare Advice for your Hyacinths:

  • Spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in the autumn for displays next season. This allows them to establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
  • Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
  • Water frequently and if in posts ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
  • Use a good quality potting compost such as our premium professional compost for the best results. 

Cutting your Hyacinths back:

  • Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering, this allows as much energy as possible to go back into the bulbs for the following year. Only cut back the foliage once it has turned yellow or brown.
