Hyacinth 'Pink Pearl' - Indoor Bulbs

The Pink Pearl prepared hyacinth bulb produces spikes of sweetly scented pink flowers, If you're keen on having indoor flowers for Christmas, now is the ideal time to pre-order.

• Plant the bulbs in containers filled with bulb fibre, ensuring the tips of the bulbs are slightly exposed above the compost.
  
• Hyacinths require a cool, dark period to simulate winter dormancy, followed by warmth and bright conditions to initiate growth.

To achieve Christmas blooms, store the planted bulbs in a cool cupboard or garage for approximately 10 weeks, ensuring they're watered regularly. Once flower buds appear, relocate them to a warm, well-lit position to encourage flowering.

This process will fool the bulbs into thinking it's springtime, resulting in beautiful blooms just in time for the festive season.

Aftercare Indoors

• Rotation: Regularly turn the pots to prevent stems from leaning towards the light.
• Support: As stems emerge, provide support using canes, string, or decorative materials like coloured cornus or willow tied with natural raffia or ribbon.

Post-Flowering

After the hyacinth bulbs have finished flowering indoors, they can be transitioned outdoors to a sheltered position, allowing them to continue their growth cycle.
