Water

Hyacinthus (Hyacinth) prefers evenly moist, well-draining soil during active growth and flowering. Water when the soil begins to dry, but avoid soggy conditions. After flowering, reduce watering as the foliage naturally dies back and the bulb enters dormancy.

Care Level

Hyacinthus (Hyacinth) is a low-maintenance spring bulb that thrives in full sun to part sun with well-draining soil. Water during active growth, remove spent flower stalks after blooming, and allow the foliage to die back naturally to help replenish the bulb for next year's flowers.
