Hyacinth bulbs

Just plant them in the garden now and they will flower next spring.

As Germanshepherdsmum says. No special treatment needed.

Especially when you've forgotten all about them and they suddenly shimmy out!

Tesco had pots of hyacinths reduced to £1 and they've come out beautifully

But if wanted for indoors, I thought the rule was to keep them in a clearly labelled paper bag in a coolish dark place, then bring them out in about Nov - and probably mix them up with the tulips because the bags split.

I think if you want indoor hyacinths it’s better to buy fresh, professionally prepared ones each year.

Hyacinths will come every year if they are in containers, but you need to feed them, just cut off the flower stems and give them a liquid high-potassium feed, such as tomato fertiliser, from now until six weeks after flowering, don’t forget to keep them well watered if you leave them in the original pots. I do this with my outside hyacinths and they do well. I agree with others though, I always buy new ones each year for inside, because the faff of keeping tiny indoor pots in the right conditions through the summer is an effort, mine are all in big planters so it’s easier.

I always put them straight in the garden and they are lovely for the next year

I plant them, every year, with all others. I have quite a nice show years on.

I agree with others here - they can be planted into the garden quite soon after flowering indoors. I usually leave them outside (still in their pot) for a couple of weeks, to acclimatise, before planting them into the garden. I can see lots of hyacinths from previous years already coming up; they appear year after year.

I put them in the garden after flowering and they are doing well without any extra attention from me. They flower every year without fail.

I plant my potted hyacinth in the garden every year. Quite a large display now.

Thanks everyone for all your posts. As you can probably tell I am not green fingered at all but I'm going to get my trowel out and get them planted 🌷🌸

I’ve just popped some in the garden today that had been an indoor gift. I’ve done this in previous years, and as other posters have said, I now have quite a nice display.

I'd plant them out .
Thaw out the ground with a kettle of hot water and wait .
I've planted out every pot of hyacinths I've had after flowering .

To prepare hyacinth bulbs for storing, let them dry naturally after the flowers die back. Once dry, gently remove any soil and store them in a cool, dark place like a paper bag or mesh bag until fall. Plant them again in late summer or early fall for spring blooms.

I let them dry off and leave them in the pots in the utility room. I buy new prepared ones for next year. The saved ones I plant up in my winter hanging basket with other bulbs and plants. Right now they are giving a splash of colour with the dwarf daffodils.
