🪻🌸 LET'S PLANT 30 HYACINTH BULBS FOR SPRING! Welcome back to Gardening with Ben! Today we're down at the allotment planting 30 beautiful hyacinth bulbs ready for a fantastic display next spring! We've been busy planting lots of spring-flowering bulbs around our allotment, and today we're adding even more colour and fragrance with these gorgeous hyacinths. Hyacinths are fantastic spring flowers, producing colourful flower spikes with an incredible fragrance! 🪻 IN TODAY'S VIDEO: ✅ Showing our 30 new hyacinth bulbs ✅ Choosing where to plant our hyacinths ✅ Preparing the soil before planting ✅ How deep to plant hyacinth bulbs ✅ How far apart to space hyacinths ✅ Planting bulbs the correct way up ✅ Tips for preventing bulbs from rotting ✅ Looking forward to next spring's display 🌱 HYACINTH PLANTING TIPS: 🪻 Plant outdoor hyacinth bulbs around 10–15cm deep, depending on bulb size. 🪻 Space bulbs approximately 10–15cm apart for a beautiful display. 🪻 Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position. 🪻 Make sure the soil drains well to prevent bulbs from rotting. 🪻 Plant bulbs with their pointed ends facing upwards. 🪻 Wear gloves when handling hyacinth bulbs, as they can irritate your skin. 🪻 Avoid planting into frozen or waterlogged soil. November is later than the usual early-autumn planting period for hyacinths, but healthy bulbs can still be planted while the ground is workable. I can't wait to see these 30 hyacinths flowering next spring! 💬 QUESTION: What's your favourite hyacinth colour — pink, purple, blue or white?
