Where to keep hyacinths, GH or inside

PerkiPerki Posts: 2,526

Never had Hyacinths before but I got some potted up in some terracotta bowls. They was in the greenhouse but I just brought them inside cause its supposed to freeze tonight, i dont know if they are hardy enough for -3 temperatures.

Now I am unsure if they be ok in the GH throughout winter or better in the house.

when they are flowering i am having some in the GH and house i love the scent image

    They're hardy. I grow them in the garden. But if you've bought prepared bulbs they've been pre-treated to be ready to flower indoors at Christmas or somewhere near.

    I dont know if they are prepared are not image cant remember. They are growing though, but they started pushing them self out of the compost, i did plant the bulb halfway into the compost but they are almost out of the compost now image. I am sure I saw on gardeners world hycinths in a terracotta bowl
