Planting and Growing Information

Plant 'Jan Bos' hyacinth bulbs in fall, 5-6 inches deep and 3-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade across USDA zones 4-8. Flowering occurs in mid-spring, with each bulb producing a single, densely-packed flower spike. After blooming, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next year's flowers. These hyacinths perform beautifully in containers, borders, and naturalized settings.
