Growing Prepared Hyacinths: A Guide

Prepared Hyacinths are specially treated bulbs that are primed for indoor flowering, offering an early burst of colour and fragrance during the winter months. Here’s how to grow and care for them to ensure a beautiful display indoors:

Planting Time for Fragrant Hyacinths:

• Timing: Prepared hyacinth bulbs are typically available in late summer or early autumn. They are ready for indoor flowering around late winter or early spring.

Preparation/Planting Instructions for Fragrant Hyacinths:

1. Container Selection: Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. A depth of at least 15cm is recommended to accommodate the bulb and its roots.
2. Planting Depth: Plant bulbs with the pointed end facing up, about 5-8cm deep in well-draining potting mix. Space multiple bulbs apart to allow for optimal growth and air circulation.
3. Positioning: Place the planted containers in a cool, dark location for about 8-12 weeks to encourage root development and the emergence of shoots. This mimics the bulb’s natural winter dormancy period.
4. After Chilling: After the chilling period, move the containers to a bright location with indirect sunlight initially. Gradually increase exposure to direct sunlight as shoots emerge to prevent leggy growth.

Care During Growth for Fragrant Hyacinths:

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Hyacinths prefer moderate moisture, especially as they start growing and flowering.
• Temperature: Maintain a cool environment with temperatures around 10-15°C during growth and flowering. Avoid placing them near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can cause premature blooming and fading.
• Fertilization: Once shoots appear, feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.

Aftercare for Fragrant Hyacinths:

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage the bulb to conserve energy for future growth.
• Post-Flowering: After flowering, allow the foliage to wither naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for next year's blooms. Cut back yellowing foliage once it has completely withered. Bulbs can then to planted in garden for flowering the following year  .
