Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
Check if bulbs were planted too shallow or if the soil became waterlogged during the winter.
Small, stunted flower spikes
Ensure the bulbs were planted at the correct 15cm depth; shallow planting often results in smaller blooms.
Flowers rotting before blooming
Ensure the planting area has adequate drainage and avoid over-watering during the dormancy period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your hyacinths thrive, follow these planting guidelines:
- Timing: Plant your bulbs between September and November while the soil is still workable.
- Depth: Bury the bulbs at a depth of 15cm to protect them from frost and provide stability.
- Soil: Choose a well-draining soil location. If you have heavy clay soil, add grit to the planting hole to improve drainage.
- Care: After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it, as this stores energy for next year’s bulbs. Do not cut back green leaves too early.
- Spacing: Give each bulb enough room to accommodate a mature spread of 25cm.
