Growing Tips
To grow Spring Beauty hyacinth bulbs successfully, plant them in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter like compost. Choose a sunny location, though the variety can also do alright in partial shade. Due to the mild toxins present in hyacinth bulbs, it is advisable to wear gloves when handling them to avoid skin irritation.
When to Grow
The best time to plant Spring Beauty hyacinth bulbs is in the fall, just before the first hard frost. This timing ensures the bulbs have enough time to establish their roots before winter sets in. In cooler northern regions, plant in September or October, while in warmer southern regions, planting in October or November is recommended. This variety is hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8, meaning it can withstand cold winter temperatures down to -30 F.
How to Sow and Plant
Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep and space them about 3-6 inches apart, with the pointed end facing upward. After planting, water the bulbs thoroughly to settle the soil, but avoid overwatering, as hyacinths are susceptible to rot if the soil remains too wet. Applying a layer of mulch can help retain moisture and protect the bulbs through the winter. For container planting, ensure that the pots have adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
How to Grow
Once the bulbs are established, hyacinths don’t require too much care. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Fertilize the bulbs at planting time and again in early spring with a balanced fertilizer or bone meal to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms. After the flowers fade, remove the spent blooms but allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process helps the bulbs store energy for the following year's growth.
How to Save
To save bulbs for the next planting season, wait until the foliage has completely withered and yellowed after blooming. Carefully dig up the bulbs, remove any excess soil, and let them dry in a cool, well-ventilated area for a few days. Store the dried bulbs in a mesh or paper bag filled with peat moss or sawdust to prevent moisture buildup. Keep the bulbs in a cool, dark place, ideally between 50-60 F, until it's time to plant them again in the fall.
FAQ
How long do Spring Beauty hyacinth's flowers last?
The blooms generally last for 2-3 weeks in mid-spring, depending on the climate and care. Cooler temperatures can help prolong the blooming period.
Can Spring Beauty hyacinth be forced to bloom indoors?
Yes, like other hyacinths, plant the bulbs in pots that are at least 6” deep, making sure the bulbs don’t touch each other or the sides of the pot – you can plant them fairly close together as long as they do not touch! Water thoroughly and keep them in a cool, dark place (basement or garage is good in cooler climates) for 10-12 weeks before gradually exposing them to light and warmth. This method is particularly popular for bringing blooms indoors during the winter months.
Are Spring Beauty hyacinth's bulbs perennial?
Yes, hyacinths will return for about 3-4 years after planting, making them a short-lived perennial. With proper care, it will return each spring. Be sure to allow the foliage to die back naturally after blooming to ensure the bulbs have stored enough energy for the following year. Bulbs will reproduce underground and it may be necessary to dig them up and divide or thin them from time to time.
