FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant Hyacinthus bulbs now in the UK?

Hyacinthus bulbs are planted in autumn, usually from September to November, for flowers in spring. Plant them as soon as possible after delivery in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. For indoor flowering, use prepared hyacinth bulbs and plant them in early autumn.

Can I grow Hyacinthus bulbs indoors?

Yes, but use bulbs labelled as prepared for indoor flowering. Plant them in pots or a hyacinth vase, keep them cool and dark while roots develop, then move them into a bright, cool room once the shoots are growing.

Why are my hyacinth flowers falling over?

Hyacinth flower heads can become top-heavy, especially indoors where stems grow quickly in warm conditions. Move the pot to a cooler, bright position and use a small cane or support if needed.

Will Hyacinthus bulbs flower again next year?

Yes. After flowering, cut off the faded flower stem but leave the leaves to die back naturally. Keep watering while the foliage is green, then plant indoor bulbs outside or leave garden bulbs in place for future spring displays.

Is Hyacinthus safe around children and pets?

Hyacinth bulbs and flowers are ornamental and should not be eaten. The bulbs can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling them and wash your hands afterwards. Keep them away from children and pets.
