Here's how to force Hyacinths in both water and soil. Forcing hyacinths indoors in either water or soil is a wonderful way to bring a bit of spring into the home. Forcing is a technique that allows us to brings plants into bloom before they would normally bloom out in the garden. To force hyacinths start by pre -chilling your bulbs for 13 weeks. The crisper drawer of the refrigerator is an ideal place to chill your bulbs. Be sure not to have any fruit in the drawer because the ethylene gas that they omit with damage the embryotic flowers in the bulbs. After the 13 weeks is up remove the bulbs and plant them in soil or water. For water, use a water tight vessel. Place pebbles at the bottom of the vessel, place your bulbs on the pebbles, surround the bulbs with more pebbles and then add water to the point where it is just barely touching the base of the bulb. For soil, plant the bulbs in a pot with drainage holes. Add moistened potting soil, place your bulbs, and cover with approximately an inch of soil. Water. For both methods, place the bulbs in a cool spot that receives indirect light. When the buds begin to show color, move them to a sunny location. Turn the planter every day or so to encourage upright growth

Hi Danielle, when you mention one waits until the bulb colours up before moving it to a sunny location do you mean when the flower starts to show? I just quickly removed my planted hyacinths that I purchased in the grocery store to a shady part of my room. I had originally placed it near my southern window for sunshine but I guess I should wait. The flower buds are out but have not opened.

I bought one forced in a vase with water. I let it run its course i took the bulb and took all the old roots off stuck it in some soil in a pot in my garage and it has lots of very health roots and a little green bud on top now. I did not follow the recommended care instructions do you think i will have any luck with it flowering?

Mine have bloomed early two years in a row. Then the late frosts destroy them. Can I dig them up and do this? They seem to hate my property. Lots of all day sun beating down on everything. Is there a faster way to just get em to rebloom? Thank you -. I-m in zone 7 by the way. Tennessee.

Hya from Yorkshire in the UK, planted hyacinths just before Christmas they grew like thin and lanky and not much scent and then grew some more a couple of weeks later they have been in full bloom for last couple of days and the scent is amazing, great video thanks -

Now I know why my leaves flopped over and were so weak looking. It did bloom, but not as pretty as yours! I dug mine up from outside on a warmer winter day when they just started showing. They were somewhere where I needed to move them anyway.

It-s March now can I do the same process and plant them in pots of soil? How long do the bulbs last if they are not planted? If I can-t planted them in 13 weeks from now, how do I store them until it-s okay?

I just found hyacinths that I bought this fall, I totally forgot to put them in the fridge. If I do that now, will they bloom for me after they-ve been in the refrigerator for 13 weeks? Your videos are so good!

Thank you Danielle. I've wanted to do this for a long time. After watching this, I am definitely going to do it. Are there any varieties or types of hyacinths that are better for forcing than others?
reply

Great advice, especially your emphasis on the need to go from fridge to cool and indirect light before passing to sunny location. I love your porcelain bowl!

You make everything so easy to understand and appealing to try. If you are anything like your Grandmother, it-s no wonder she won awards.
