Can hyacinths be forced to bloom indoors, and how is it done?
Yes. To learn how to grow hyacinths indoors, start by selecting prepared bulbs or pre-chilled bulbs. Plant your bulbs in pots or bulb vases filled with water, making sure to place the bulb just above the waterline. Growing indoors requires the bulbs to spend 10-12 weeks in a cold, dark place (around 40°F) before being moved to a sunny spot for blooming. Once hyacinths have finished blooming, you can discard the bulbs or plant them in the garden for future blooms.
