Description
- Find a location where the soil drains well. If there are still water puddles 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site. Or amend the soil with the addition of organic material to raise the level 2-3″ to improve the drainage. Peat moss, compost, ground bark or decomposed manure all work well and are widely available. While grape hyacinths aren’t fussy about soil, they will not survive in soggy soil or standing water.
- Site your grape hyacinths where they will get good light – full or three quarter day sun will produce the best blooms.
- Dig holes and plant the bulbs 3-4” deep and 3” apart. The bulbs are round, with small points on the sides that should be placed facing up.
- After planting, water well to settle the soil around the bulbs. Roots and foliage form in the fall. Flowers form in the spring.
- When in bloom, feel free to cut grape hyacinth flowers for tiny, perfect bouquets. This will not hurt your plants.
