About Hyacinth
Hyacinths are beloved for their intensely fragrant, dense flower spikes, bringing a burst of colour and perfume to UK gardens and homes in early spring. They are relatively easy to grow, making them a popular choice for seasonal displays and naturalising in borders. Their vibrant blooms are a welcome sight after the winter months.
Outdoor garden plant. Bulb. Typically flowers around Mar, Apr, May.
How to care for Hyacinth
💧 Watering
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during growth and flowering. Reduce watering significantly after flowering as foliage dies back.
🌿 Feeding
Generally not required for outdoor bulbs if planted in fertile soil. For potted hyacinths, a dilute liquid feed can be given when flower buds appear.
