When to Plant Hyacinth Bulbs: Advice on Timing and Planting
13.10.2023 - 12:23 / savvygardening.com
There are a few scents that to me unequivocally evoke spring—besides the earthy fragrance of thawing soil. Hyacinth blooms fall into that category, and are among my favorite spring-blooming bulbs. They usually bloom between early spring and mid spring, and their blooms can last up to four weeks. Learning how and when to plant hyacinth bulbs will ensure you get to enjoy those luscious, fragrant flowers the following spring. Read on for timing and planting tips.
Shopping for hyacinth bulbsThere are two types of hyacinth bulbs you’ll find in stores, catalogs, and online. They usually start to appear on shelves in August or early September. Common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), sometimes called true hyacinths, are the bloom-filled plants that have a long, cylindrical stem filled with flowers. Bulbs come in a variety of colors, from different shades of purples and blues, pinks, and corals, to pure white.
Grape hyacinths (Muscari armeniacum) are much smaller. You almost have to get down to ground level to appreciate them. Their hues range from pinks and blues to white. The flower clusters resemble little bloom-covered umbrellas.
Where to plant hyacinth bulbsHyacinths make great garden border plants. Both common and grape hyacinths have a shorter stature, so they work well planted in front of other bulbs or perennials. Plant them around a tree or along a walkway. Arrange them in groups—odd numbers are best.
Make sure your planting site is in full sun to partial shade, and has friable, soil with good drainage. If the area is too wet, the bulbs may rot.
Flower bulbs have all the nutrients and energy they need to bloom in the spring. But if you’re planting in an area with poorer soil, you may want to amend the planting area
