Planting Hyacinths outdoors in the garden

• If planting in the garden, find a position that is in full sun or partial shade. 
• Hyacinths like to be planted in well-drained soil that is moderately fertile.
• Bulbs should be planted in the Autumn for flowering in March - April.
• Plant your bulbs 10cm (4") deep and 7-8cm (3") apart.

Planting Hyacinths outdoors in containers 

• If planting in containers, use any good potting medium including a mix of 2 parts John Innes No.2 compost mixed with one part grit.  Make sure your pot is free draining.
• Plant your bulbs 10cm (4") deep and 7-8cm (3") apart.

Planting Hyacinths indoors for Christmas Flowering

• Use a moisture-retentive but free-draining soil especially if the container has no drainage holes. The simplest compost to choose is bulb fibre. 
• It is not necessary to feed the bulbs after planting. 
• Wet the fibre or compost first and place a layer in the bottom of the container. 
• Place the bulbs on the fibre or compost and fill the gaps with more fibre or compost allowing for the tips of the bulbs to be just showing above the soil level. 
• Allow about 1-2cm (1/2") between the soil surface and the container rim to allow space for watering.
• To force flowering for Christmas: After planting the bulbs, they need a dark and cool period to encourage the development of a good root system. Place in the garage or under stairs cupboard. Do this until you see your hyacinths have developed and are established. Place you container in your desired position around the house. Perhaps on your dinner table for a lovely Christmas Centre piece! 

How to care for Tulips

• Deadhead the flowers during the season before the petals fall off.
• After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
• Water as needed during active growth periods.
• By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
• Some tulips flower well for one year and then need lifting out of the soil and carefully stored if you want to use them again. Once everything has fully died back, you can lift them and store them in a dark, dry, airy place over summer, allowing the air to circulate around them. They can then be replanted in the Autumn.       

How to care for Hyacinths 

• Blooms should be removed as soon as they shows signs of brown.
• Leave the foliage to die back naturally. 
• If planted in the garden, bulbs can be lifted as soon as the foliage has died back and stored in a cool, dry place.  
• If planted in pots, wrap containers with bubble wrap to protect from frost.
• Once the flowers have faded, return the container to a sheltered spot in the garden.
• Bulbs can be lifted as soon as the foliage has died back and stored in a cool, dry place.    

How to care for Muscari

• After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
