Partial Sun; 3-6hrs Multi-Color Delightfully sweet scent Hyacinth Mix Annual Dormant Bulbs Plant in fall NOTE: Hyacinth bulbs contain a substance called oxalic acid, which can be irritating to bare skin. Use gloves when handling these bulbs for extended periods. Plant Hyacinth bulbs in the fall before the first frost hardens the soil. Dig a hole to the required depth. Place bulb in hole, pointed side up. Cover with soil and water thoroughly. It is advisable to pre-chill bulbs 6-8 weeks before planting. Mulch in extreme climates. For container planting, bury the bulb three times as deep as the bulb is wide. In zones 6 and below, you will need to protect your bulb containers. Place them near the foundation of the house or other structure. In zones 3-5, place the container in an unheated garage or shed.  After blooming, allow the foliage to naturally fade or die back. Don’t cut the foliage as it’s making food for next year’s flowers. Dig up and clean the bulbs.  Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Repeat pre-chilling procedure by placing bulbs in a vented bag(s) at bottom of refrigerator. Do not freeze. Keep bulbs away from ripening fruits. To force indoors in containers during the winter months, pot large-sized, specially treated hyacinth bulbs in containers. Place in a cool, dark location (such as a closet), making sure the soil remains damp for several weeks to ensure adequate root development. When shoot tips are visible, move to a 50ºF environment at first, gradually moving to higher temperature locations as more shoot appears and giving as much light as possible. After forcing, keep in a cool, but sunny location to finish growth. To force indoors in a bulb vase, place bulb in the cup-shaped spot at top of vase and fill with water just until water level is touching the roots. May also place in a vase of your choice on top of rocks or decorative stones, filling the vessel with water until water level is just touching the roots. Maintain water level and follow remaining steps for indoor container forcing.
