Hyacinth

Hyacinth - Spring charm for the garden and home

Hyacinthus is one of the most beautiful spring flowers, impressing with its rich colors and intense fragrance. Easy to grow, it can be planted either in the garden or in a pot, where it will bring freshness and cheer to the interior. Thanks to the variety of colours - white, pink, purple, blue, yellow and even red - the hyacinth is a great choice for everyone.

The hyacinth is a bulbous perennial, and is one of the most common and preferred flowers in the Bulgarian yard. It reaches 20-30 cm in height and has a strong and specific scent that cannot be mistaken for any other plant.

When do hyacinths bloom?

They usually bloom in spring, with the flowering period depending on the time of planting. If you plant the bulbs in autumn (September - November), you will enjoy beautiful flowers between March and May. If grown at home in a pot, it is possible to enjoy flowering even during the winter months. It prefers sunny locations and those with partial shade.

Planting - When is the best time?

Planting hyacinth bulbs is best done in autumn when temperatures are cool but the ground is not yet frozen. This allows the bulbs to develop a strong root system before the winter period, and to delight you with rich and varied flowers in spring.

How to grow hyacinth in a pot?

This growing option is the perfect one for those who want to bring spring cheer and amazing fragrance into their home. Here are a few steps for successful growing:

1. Choose a suitable pot - it should be at least 15 cm deep and have good drainage.
2. Soil - use well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
3. Planting - plant the bulbs at a depth of about 5-7 cm, leaving space between them.
4. Cooling - if you want to speed up their growth, leave the pot in a cool, dark place for 8-10 weeks.
5. Exposure to light - when the sprouts appear, place the pot in a sunny spot.

How to water?

Watering depends on the growing conditions:

• In a pot - the soil should be slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water sparingly and avoid trapping water at the base of the pot.
• In the garden - it does not like excessive moisture, so only water when it is dry.

Tip: Always water at the base of the plant, not on the flowers, to avoid rotting.

Planting and care

To enjoy beautiful flowers every year, it is important to follow a few basic planting and growing principles:

• After flowering - cut out the over-bloomed flowers, but leave the leaves so the bulb can store energy for next year.
• Removing the bulbs - if you are growing hyacinths in the garden, you can remove the bulbs in summer and store them in a dry, airy place until autumn.
• Feed - use a liquid bulb fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
