Hyacinths are highly fragrant, bulbous plants that are treasured in gardens and homes for their dense, star-shaped blossoms arranged on spikes. Originating from the eastern Mediterranean and parts of Asia, these plants are a popular choice in spring gardens and for forced blooms indoors during the winter.

Appearance

Hyacinths come in a range of vibrant colors, including blue, red, purple, pink, white, and yellow. Each bulb typically produces a single dense, columnar spike of flowers, which can last up to two weeks.

Planting and Care

Here’s how to care for hyacinths, both outdoors and indoors:

Outdoor Planting

  1. Planting Time: Plant hyacinth bulbs in the fall before the ground freezes. In temperate climates, this is typically around September or October.
  2. Soil: Choose well-draining soil to avoid waterlogging the bulbs. Adding compost or bone meal can enrich poor soil and help with drainage.
  3. Sunlight: Hyacinths prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. The more sun they get, the better they will bloom.
  4. Planting Depth and Spacing: Plant the bulbs about 4 inches deep with the pointed end up and space them approximately 3 inches apart.
  5. Watering: Water your bulbs after planting and maintain moderate moisture during the growing season. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to bulb rot.

Indoor Planting (Forcing)

  1. Potting and Chilling: To force hyacinths indoors, plant the bulbs in pots with well-draining soil in the fall. They require a chilling period of 10-13 weeks in a dark, cool environment (such as a refrigerator) to simulate winter.
  2. After Chilling: Once chilled, move the pots to a warmer, light-filled area to encourage growth. This typically involves initially placing them in indirect light and cooler temperatures, gradually moving them into brighter light as the stems grow.
  3. Blooming: Forced hyacinths usually bloom a few weeks after being brought out of chilling.

Maintenance

  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer when the leaves emerge and again after flowering to support bulb growth for the next season.
  • Aftercare: Once the flowers fade, cut back the flower spikes to prevent seed formation. Allow the leaves to continue growing until they die back naturally, as they are feeding the bulb for the next year’s growth.
  • Division: Hyacinth bulbs can be left in the ground to naturalize, but you may need to dig and divide them every few years if they become overcrowded.

Hyacinths are not only beautiful and aromatic but also relatively easy to grow, making them a favorite among gardeners looking to add a splash of color and fragrance to their spring landscape or indoor setting.

Also, not for nothing, every time I see hyacinths I think of this line from The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot:

‘You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
‘They called me the hyacinth girl.’
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
Oed’ und leer das Meer.

Uplifting, right?? :-D

Durable & fun for aggressive chewers.
Color: Yellow
Holding up very well for our aggressive chewer. Squeaker is still intact & our 70-pound pittie breed often chooses this toy to play with over others. Pittie approved.

Not at all indestructible
It was well loved while it lasted. But this fish was delivered on Saturday and I’m writing my review on Tuesday morning. So we are looking at roughly 3 days of play. I bought the fish toy and almost immediately the fins were ripped off. But I figured as long as the body stayed intact we’d be good. But it wasn’t long before the body was ripped open as well. Very disappointed. Evidently my dog’s bite is more damaging than a bullet? I’m sure it will last all in all a week before there’s no saving it anymore. Will look for other better toys for my super chewer.

Lasted the longest of any toy we bought yet!
Very happy with the toys we bought so far! The owl didn’t last as long as the raccoon. The raccoon lost his ear pretty quickly, but the rest of the toy has held up for almost a month now. That is *significantly* longer than any other stuffed animal toy we’ve tried so far. Pretty much any other stuffed animal toy we’ve tried from Kong or elsewhere has fallen apart in a few days. This is a good toy for sharp puppy teeth! Also such cute designs. Just bought the Mallard, excited to see how it goes!

Not Pitty Proof..
Color: Bear, Color: Bear
The toy itself was very detailed and cute, But my potty had the toy about 10 mins and she took the leg off .. it’s a bit pricey. Since it didn’t last long so .. if you have pitty save your money and don’t buy it ..

The only plush toys that last for my girl!
These are awesome! I have a 4 year old doberman and she destroys most plush toys in a matter of minutes. These are the only ones that last and are worth the money! Even once she does pull the stuffing out, the shell of the toy is still mostly intact and she'll play with that for a long time as well!
