Organic hyacinths

Organically grown hyacinths

The hyacinth family and its followers are very popular with the Florist because of their beautiful properties. We offer a wide range of choices, including normal large-flowered hyacinths with a wonderful scent, suitable for both indoor and outdoor flowering. In addition, we have Spanish hyacinths that have a slightly more refined appearance, but are not suitable for indoor flowering. Another interesting option is the Oriental star hyacinth, also known as Scilla 'Siberica' or the Puschkinia, also called the tube hyacinth , because of the small tubes in the flowers. We have scented and non-scented varieties, but they all have one thing in common: they are hardy and come back faithfully year after year.

Hyacinths indoors

For indoor hyacinth blooms it is important to first put the bulbs in the refrigerator for 9 weeks, so that they experience the cold period they need to be able to bloom. This process is called vernalization.

Plant the flower bulbs in a pot by December 6th at the latest for flowering during the Christmas holidays and afterwards, or plant them later for later flowering indoors. This way you can enjoy the beautiful hyacinth flowers in your home for a long time.

Indoor tip: Keep them away from fruit. Fruit gives off ethylene gas which makes the flowers fade faster.

How, where and when do I plant a hyacinth flower bulb?

A hyacinth needs a cold period so it is planted in the ground from September to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the height of the flower bulb itself and the planting distance is 2 to 3 times the width of the flower bulb itself. Unless you plant them in pots. Then the flower bulbs can be closer together and possibly even come a bit above the ground, just because those bulbs are so beautiful! (In that case, press them back into the ground every now and then because otherwise the roots of the flower bulb will push the flower bulb upwards!)

Hyacinths thrive best in sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil. A light to moderately sandy soil is ideal for hyacinths. This type of soil allows excess water to drain easily, reducing the risk of root rot.

Hyacinth care

For the best results, remove the bulbs from the ground in early summer and store them in a warm place, such as a shed. In October, the flower bulb is then replanted with some organic food. The flower bulb will also flower again if it remains in the ground after flowering, but will flower less richly from year to year.

Propagation

The flower bulbs multiply via small brood bulbs. Remove the small bulbs after flowering and replant them separately in the autumn. The small bulbs are after about 4 years just as big as the flower bulb that we supply you, then they give optimal flowering.

Origin of the hyacinth

The Hyacinthus orientalis is the original species and originates from the Eastern Mediterranean area to Central Asia. It was first described in 1557 by Carolus Clusius . The color blue is the original color.

  • Organic spring bulbs

    Spring-flowering bulbs and tubers are popular plants that produce beautiful flowers from early spring through summer. Because of their early bloom, they combine well with perennials when they still need to establish themselves.

    Tulips are probably the most well-known spring flowers. They come in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. Daffodils are known for their cheerful yellow flowers, but they also come in other colors like white and orange. Crocuses are small bulbous plants with striking flowers in shades of purple, yellow, and white. They are often the first flowers to appear in spring. Hyacinths have fragrant flowers in various colors, such as pink, purple, blue, and white. They are often planted in borders, flower beds, or pots.

    Benefits of organic spring bulbs

    When you choose organic flower bulbs that bloom in spring, you can be sure that no chemicals or pesticides will end up in your garden. These pesticides are harmful to bees and prevent them from finding their nests. As a result, more and more bee species have been added to the red list in recent years. Together, we can do something about this!

    Flower bulbs for wild bees

    Did you know that wild bees lay eggs in their nests, which then hatch in early spring? These newborn insect helpers immediately search for food in the surrounding area. There are also insects that have hibernated and are desperately looking for a hearty breakfast: the blooming flowers where nectar and pollen can be found! Just after winter, there's little greenery or food for these insects. Planting early-blooming flower bulbs ensures there's food available, and the insects can gain strength for the coming summer.

    Organic growers

    The organic growers we work with cultivate not only the most beautiful but also the strongest products. They cultivate varieties and species of flowers and plants that experience has shown to be virus-resistant, so they don't need to use chemicals and pesticides. Organic growers seek natural remedies and solutions against diseases and/or pests. All our flower bulbs are certified organic; both the Florist and the growers are SKAL-certified.

    When do you plant spring bulbs?

    Spring-flowering bulbs can be planted from autumn until January. Bulbs that need to be dug up in the summer after flowering should be dug up starting in late July and stored until the next planting season in autumn.

    What to do after flowering

    When spring bloomers have finished blooming, cut off the wilted flowers at the top of the stem. Let the rest of the plant die back naturally so it can still receive maximum energy from the sun.

    How do you store spring bulbs?

    If you've purchased flower bulbs from us and had them delivered to your home and would like to leave them for a while, we recommend opening the box and storing it in a ventilated, cool place until you're ready to plant them.

    Store flower bulbs you dig up after flowering in a warm place, such as a shed. To prevent mice from eating the bulbs during this period, you can also hang them in a bag or pantyhose.

  • Where is the best place to plant spring bulbs?

    Spring-flowering bulbs are flowers that bloom in the spring, between January and July. There are many different types of spring-flowering bulbs, suitable for different types of gardens and soil. For example, some bulb plants enjoy catching a glimpse of the sun during flowering, but prefer to be covered by a tree during their dormant period in summer.

    Spring bloomers in the sun

    Many spring bloomers need plenty of sun to bloom and grow well for the following year. These flowers thrive in full sun:

    Spring bloomers in the shade

    Some spring bloomers also grow and bloom well in the shade, such as:

    Conclusion

    There are many different types of spring bloomers suitable for different types of gardens and soil. Whether a spring bloomer can grow in sun or shade depends on the specific variety. Some prefer dry soil, while others prefer wet feet. So, there's a suitable spring bloomer for every garden.

    Tips for a flowery garden

    Plant a variety of flowers, each with its own blooming time, so there are flowers blooming throughout the spring and food for bees and other insects in your garden.
