Mixed Hyacinths

Hyacinths are extremely easy to grow both indoors and outdoors, filling your home or garden with amazing colour and a fabulous heady scent.

A truly iconic spring flower - for best effect your pot of Hyacinths is absolutely ideal in a cool room, where they will release a delicious scent for all to enjoy. In fact, they will last twice as long when grown in a warm room!

What better way is there to bring early spring colour into your home? Simply slip the planted pot into a decorative container where they will come into flower from January. Once the flowers have finished, they can be planted back out into the garden.

When planted in beds or borders, this mix will fill your garden with a powerful fragrance each year in April. Naturalised bulbs will flower slightly later than pot-grown varieties.

What's more, these majestic beauties make fabulous cut flowers, allowing natural sights and smells to be brought inside and enjoyed for even longer.

They are so easy to grow; once planted, leave them in the ground and they will flower for years, only getting bigger and stronger each year.

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.

Unsure on which way up? Remember - pointy end up, but don't threat, they soon right themselves in the ground anyway.

Care Guide

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.
