    • Hyacinths prefer a sunny planting location
    • Plant hyacinths in well-drained soil; amend the soil with organic matter such as compost, manure or peat moss.
    • The skin of hyacinths can cause a minor allergic skin reaction in some people. We suggest using gloves when handling your hyacinth bulbs.
    • Plant hyacinth bulbs 6-8” deep, for strong root growth dig out the entire planting area 15” deep, back fill with amended soil to 6-8” and plant your hyacinth bulbs, back fill with remaining soil.
    • Space hyacinth bulbs 6-8”.
    • Water the planting area immediately after planting to eliminate air pockets. Hyacinths are very sensitive to rotting, any additional water in fall or winter is not suggested.
    • Apply a thick 2-3” layer of organic mulch to the planting area in mid to late fall.

    Pros:
    • Incredible perfume; spectacular color
    Cons:
    • Might tilt a little; lasts 12 days
    I adore hyacinths and I discovered that different colors not only carried unique scents, but also tend to bloom at separate times. The pink hyacinths tend to bloom slightly faster than the other colors and their scent is sweeter.
    I ordered a bunch of these Jan Bos jumbo pack - and planted them in late fall. When planting I did a combination of several bulbs in one pot, and then individual bulbs in individual pots. These were then left outdoors to go through the 12-week chill period. I watered them sparingly, to prevent the bulbs from drying out (once every 4 weeks, with just a little trickle of water at the side of the pots).
    In Arlington, VA the weather has been finicky and at some point in February there was a false spring - which typically throws off the chill-period. The green shoots had started to come up and I was worried that the flowers would bloom partially and then retract. However, all was good - and they bloomed by mid-March.
    The scent and the colors were spectacular. One thing I noted was that the type of soil that one uses is important (even though one could 'force' the bulbs using the water method, I like to plant in organic potting soil). Because my soil is organic and I refuse to use pesticides. (Should aphids get to the hyacinth they will suck out the nectar and make the flowers tilt - so a little spray of diluted vinegar is helpful).
    The gorgeous ruffles of this flower are simply spectacular - when I was near the flowers the perfume simple leapt up at me. I was swooning at the beauty and the scent! The flowers last about 12 days before they start to fade away. (So I had to wait about 3 and half months before they bloomed - and then when nearing the 4th month they were done). Still worth the wait as they are dazzling!

    Order arrived late but in good condition. I will plant these in the fall so had to put them in storage. As of last week about 1/3 were no longer viable. I am sure the rest will be just as beautiful and long lasting as my previous orders. The hyacinths really smell good!

    Cons:
    These bulbs arrived later than anticipated, however they were quite large and all of them were in perfect shape. Since I was planning to plant them in pots, the late arrival was not a huge issue.
    Some of them are waking up, so I'm looking forward to a great show.

    I ordered the bulbs very late season. I was pleased that the bulbs arrived in excellent condition as end of season bulb orders can be hit or miss. I received firm bulbs with no sign of mildew. I look forward to the spring blooms.

    This fall, I purchased a ridiculous amount of bulbs in hopes for an amazing spring presentation. Every year, I only order from Holland Bulbs and it doesn’t disappoint. I also order for my mother’s yard as her Mother’s Day present. All the bulbs were healthy and nice.
