- Planting: Plant hyacinth bulbs in well-draining soil during the fall, approximately 6-8 weeks before the first frost. Choose a location that receives ample sunlight.
- Spacing: Space bulbs around 4-6 inches apart at a depth of 4-6 inches.
- Watering: Hyacinths require moderate watering, ensuring the soil is evenly moist but not overly saturated.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer once or twice a year to promote healthy growth.
