Growing Non-GMO Gipsy Princess Hyacinth Flower Bulbs

Plant hyacinth the bulbs in the fall, about 6-8 weeks before the first hard frost, allowing them to establish roots before the ground freezes.

Gipsy Princess Hyacinths thrive in well-draining soil, preferably sandy or loamy, requiring full sun to partial shade. Proper drainage is essential to prevent bulb rot.

Outdoors, Gipsy Princess Hyacinths typically bloom in early to mid-spring. To promote healthy growth and enhance perennial blooming, deadhead spent flowers.

Applying a balanced fertilizer after blooming and maintaining consistent watering, especially during dry periods, will improve their performance and ensure robust growth in the following season.

To force Gipsy Princess Hyacinths indoors, pre-chill the bulbs at 40-45 F for 10-12 weeks to mimic their natural winter dormancy. After chilling, plant the bulbs in pots with well-draining potting soil, exposing the top third of the bulb. Initially, place the pots in a cool, dark location until shoots appear. Once the shoots are visible, move the pots to a sunny spot. Water the bulbs thoroughly when planting and moisten the soil during the chilling period. Once growth and blooming begin, water regularly but lightly to moisten the soil, avoiding waterlogging. Indoor-forced hyacinths will bloom in late winter, bringing a touch of spring to your home.
