How to Start

Plant Hyacinth bulbs in fall, ideally several weeks before the ground freezes.
- Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil.
-
Plant bulbs approximately 4–6 inches deep, with the pointed end facing upward.
-
Space bulbs approximately 4–6 inches apart, or plant closer together in containers for a fuller display.
- Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs.
- Keep the soil moderately moist during active growth, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
- After flowering, remove faded flower stalks but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally.
Set expectations: Because this is a Rainbow Mix, exact flower colors and the number of each color cannot be guaranteed. Bloom timing, flower height, and color intensity can vary depending on variety, climate, winter temperatures, and growing conditions.
