Hyacinth bulbs are popular spring-flowering bulbs known for their fragrant, colorful blooms. They typically produce dense clusters of flowers in shades of blue, pink, white, and purple. These bulbs thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade, making them ideal for gardens and containers. Planting hyacinth bulbs is best done in the fall, about 6 to 8 weeks before the ground freezes. They require minimal care, needing only regular watering during dry spells. Once they bloom, the flowers can last several weeks, adding vibrant color and a sweet scent to any landscape.
