Planting & Growing

When grown indoors, Hyacinths and Tulips can be expected to grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity extending to 12 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 9 inches. It grows at a medium rate, once flowering is finished they can be kept in a bright window until the foliage turns yellow and dies back. The bulbs can be replanted in the garden the following fall. These forced bulbs should be kept in a bright cool location in the house, although it will usually require a more brightly-lit environment than what artificial indoor lighting alone can provide. It does best in average to evenly moist soil, but will not tolerate standing water. The surface of the soil shouldn't be allowed to dry out completely, and so you should expect to water this plant once and possibly even twice each week. Be aware that your particular watering schedule may vary depending on its location in the room, the pot size, plant size and other conditions; if in doubt, ask one of our experts in the store for advice. It is not particular as to soil type or pH; an average potting soil should work just fine.
