If you’re looking for a flower that truly says “spring is here,” the hyacinth is it. With its rich fragrance and dense, colorful blooms, this classic bulb adds beauty and charm wherever it’s planted. Hyacinths are perfect for tucking into garden beds, borders, or pots near entryways where their sweet scent can be enjoyed up close. Plant them once, and you’ll look forward to their cheerful return every year in cooler climates of zones 4-7 — a sure sign that warmer days are on the way.

This bulb works as a wonderful accent piece. Their striking pop of color in April really adds to your garden. These are smaller bulbs, and have a tendency to dry out, so be sure to plant them as soon as possible! They are striking when planted in en masse of 60+ bulbs. If you want to try planting them en masse, simply dig a trench about 4-6 inches deep, place the bulbs about 1-2" apart, and cover the entire area with soil. Then water.

What to expect: This bulb will put on its foliage in February/March to prepare for its April bloom. The flowers will grow to about 10-12" tall. Each shoot will produce a cluster of star-shaped blooms. The lovely blooms will last for 2-3 weeks depending on the heat. But the green foliage will add to your garden for at least another month. Allow the foliage to die back naturally. When it is completely dead, then you can cut if off. Remember, the foliage is what takes in the sun energy to allow the bulbs to make it through the year and produce beautiful blooms the next year.

Care and planting: These bulbs do best when planted where they will receive at least 6+ hours of winter sun.

Simply plant them about 6" deep. Plant the bulbs 1-2" apart if you want them to look more natural or up to 6" apart if you are planning to let them fill in the area over the next few years. The size of this bloom allows it to look great in containers, as a border, along walkways, in rock gardens, or in an open area. They like well-drained soil.

Plant in pots: Can I plant them in pots? Yes! They still need that winter sun though so be sure to place the pot in a very sunny location that will receive 6+ hours of sun. Just water them a little until the foliage and blooms start to appear and then be sure to water them a little more. Place them in a pot with well-drained soil. You can plant a lot of bulbs in a small pot to have a dramatic showing. If the weather is nice between February and May, you can set the pot outside to take in great nutrients directly from the sun. We know april is a little late for a freeze, but be sure to keep the pot out of the temperatures below 34 degrees as the pot gets cold from all sides and can freeze the bulbs. Remember that the bulbs will multiply so after the foliage has died back you may want to go ahead and transplant some of the bulbs into other pots for the next season.

Forcing hyacinths is an easy way to enjoy color and fragrance indoors weeks before spring actually arrives.

Planting

  1. Choose clean pots with drainage holes.
  2. Fill with well-draining potting mix.
  3. Set bulbs pointed end up, leaving the top 1/2 of the bulb exposed above the soil.
  4. Space bulbs close together or plant one bulb per small pot.
  5. Water thoroughly after planting.
  6. Keep soil barely moist, not wet until you see growth

Bringing them into bloom

  1. Place pots to a cool, bright room
  2. Once shoots are 2–3 inches tall, place in brighter light
  3. Keep temperatures cool (55–65°F) for longer-lasting blooms TIP -- Cooler temperatures slow growth but produce stronger stems and longer-lasting flowers. Warmer rooms speed bloom time but shorten the show.

How to plant forced hyacinths in the ground

  1. After blooms fade, cut off the spent flower spike
  2. Keep the leaves growing as long as possible
  3. Water lightly and place pots in bright light
  4. Once foliage yellows and dies back, plant bulbs outdoors Or plant earlier if the ground isn’t frozen and foliage is still green
  5. Plant at normal depth (about 6–8 inches)

In warmer climates, forced hyacinths are best enjoyed:

  • Indoors for fragrance and beauty
  • Then planted outside as a bonus—not a guarantee

Plant them outside if you can—it doesn’t hurt. Just think of any future bloom as a happy surprise, not a promise

Great message that the kids listen to
Format: Hardcover
I love the message and my kids (3 and 5) find it credible and engaging, so it's a win all around. I find the illustrations (which are either done by a 5 year old or an adult as talented an artist as I am) painful but I give the text 6 out of 5 stars so when I take a star off for the over-the-top illustrations we're still at 5/5 ;) Kids who have greater access to exclusively modern media with intense graphics may not be able to relate to the material: the graphics are a big hurdle and the text is pretty dated too. I'm sure an updated version would be even more engaging for my kids but what it lacks in exciting, current graphics it makes up for in specificity and clarity for my two.

Entertaining and helpful lessons
Format: Hardcover
My family loves this book. Used to read it to my daughter as a young girl and now she’s a teen. We still talk about the lessons learned in this book! The characters and illustrations crack me up: Smash, rip and ruin taught us a lot! And the ones without hands and noses! I couldn’t believe how long ago this book was written when we got it- all lessons still applicable today.

... over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!
Format: Hardcover
I wasn't sure how this would go over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!! They always enjoy pulling it out and now I can refer back to the characters to remind them of their manners in a more positive way. The only thing is I kinda wish they had used a different animal than pig, since for some reason I don't like saying "don't be like the pigs" (since I don't really want them calling eachother or other kids pigs). But so far it has been fine :) It's also very nice they included "Be kind to animals, they have feelings too." We say that all the time around here since we have kitties. Also the part about table manners is great since we had already been teaching the kids to ask before being excused from the table.

Manners Can Be Fun
Format: Hardcover
What a cute book! I bought it for my 2 and 3 year old boys. We are attempting to teach them simple, common manners in a fun way and they love learning through books. Manners Can Be Fun presents manners in a simple, easy to understand, engaging way. The boys enjoy reading this book and it's a great way to have positive conversations about specific situations they experience daily like sharing toys, picking up after themselves, whining, meal time. It's a fun book!
