- 3 What is a prepared Hyacinth? Prepared hyacinths are so called because they have been "prepared" for early flowering. This is achieved by the simple expedient of chilling the bulbs during the summer at sub-zero temperatures for a week or so. This convinces the bulb that it has experienced a full winter, and it is then ready to produce flowers. Prepared hyacinth sould be planted into a pot and kept indoor or in a sunny spot on the patio. If kept indoor it will flower in February. Once it is finished flowering you could take it out of the pot and plant it in the garden for next year.

When to buy and plant

Spring-flowering bulbs are sold from August for planting in autumn. Follow the variety’s planting window; tulips are generally planted later in autumn than many other spring bulbs.

Planting and growing

Plant in a suitable position with good drainage. Follow the pack’s planting depth and spacing, with the growing point facing upwards where identifiable.

Aftercare

Water containers when needed and allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering. Keep pots draining freely and follow the variety’s aftercare instructions.
