FAQs
When is the best time to plant Hyacinth Top Hit bulbs?

Are these bulbs perennials?
Yes, they are perennials and are intended to return and bloom each year.
Can I grow these in containers?

Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to sprout in spring
Check soil drainage. If the soil is waterlogged, the bulb may have rotted. Ensure future planting is in well-draining soil.
Flowers appearing stunted
Ensure they were planted at the correct depth (3-4 times the bulb size) and that the soil is sufficiently fertile.
Bulbs sprouting mold during storage
Ensure storage location is well-ventilated and dry; discard any bulbs showing signs of soft rot before planting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, plant the bulbs in fertile, well-draining soil during the autumn or winter months. Dig your planting holes to a depth of three to four times the size of the bulb to ensure the roots are properly anchored and insulated from extreme temperature shifts. If you are not ready to plant the bulbs immediately upon arrival, store them in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, and frost-free environment to prevent rot or premature sprouting. Once planted, these bulbs require little intervention, though you should avoid overwatering the soil during their dormant phase.
