Hyacinths are spring bloomers, the bulbs bloom in spring and the hyacinth bulbs can be planted from October to December. If you plant the hyacinth bulbs in the fall, you will enjoy the beautifully colored flowers in the spring, around March and April. Hyacinths do well in the garden but can also be placed in pots indoors. Hyacinths love a well-drained soil. Make sure there are holes in the bottom of the pots. Keep for the planting distance 3x the width of the bulb and keep for planting also 3x the height of the bulb. Will you plant the hyacinth bulbs in areas where it can freeze? Plant the bulbs a little deeper, especially in the period immediately after planting they are sensitive to frost. Hyacinth bulbs can be planted in the ground manually.

History of the hyacinth

The name hyacinth originates from Greek mythology. Hyacinthus was a prince of Sparta and a demigod. He was worshipped by the god Apollo. According to the stories, Apollo and Hyacinthus held a discus throwing contest. In the process, Hyacinthus was fatally struck by a discus. To prevent the god of the underworld-Hades-from taking the body, Apollo created a flower from Hyacinth's blood: the hyacinth. The hyacinth is a bulbous plant in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae). The plant is native to the eastern Mediterranean. At the end of the 16th century, the ancestors of today's hyacinth, the wild Hyacinthus orientalis, were brought to the Netherlands. This was the beginning of Dutch hyacinth cultivation. In the 18th century, this flower made itself heard again. Madame de Pompadour, mistress of the French king Louis XV, loved the look and smell of this Dutch-grown bulbous plant so much that she filled the palace and gardens of Versailles with it. The French elite rushed to follow suit, making the Dutch hyacinth wildly popular for a time.
