After a long, long interval I again tried Hyacinths. The results were so dis appointing that I have decided Not to grow them again.


Arif

you will have different results if you grow them in glass jars

Yes these disposable bulbs do best in water only..

Dear Arif Sb,
Congratulations on growing Hyacinths. I also tried but no luck. Are Hyacinths bulbs available in Pakistan ? This year I could not find them in shipments that arrived for exhibition in karachi ( DHA Nurseries).

Regards
Asif

Hyacinths are easily available from Lahore seed shops every October..

but Sir, they are so lovely...please grow some for people like me...who love to see them...and may be i get a chance to get a few bulbs from you.
