When cultivating Grape Hyacinth, you can choose imported bulbs from abroad and plant them in autumn and winter. It is best to use decomposed leaf soil or sandy loam. After planting, maintain the moisture of the soil. Once the leaves grow, you can apply diluted nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium solutions to promote development. When the flower buds appear in spring, move them to a place with 60%-70% sunlight to make the flower stems grow rapidly. Grape Hyacinth is adaptable and easy to manage. It can be transplanted at any time and is also suitable for winter-forced cultivation.
Place the bulbs in a refrigerator at 6°C to 8°C for 50 days at the end of August, then take them out and place them in a well-ventilated cold room. Plant them in pots for chrysanthemums at the beginning of December, with 8 to 12 bulbs per pot. Cultivate them at 15°C to 25°C, and they can bloom during the New Year and the Spring Festival, making them suitable as indoor hanging potted plants.
Grape Hyacinth can be used as ground cover under trees, for border decoration in flower beds, or to create flower arrangements, offering a unique charm.
Grape Hyacinth prefers warm and cool climates, enjoys sunlight but also tolerates semi-shade. It requires soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, with good drainage and strong cold resistance.
In North China, only the tips of the leaves on the above-ground parts wither slightly in winter, and it can also survive the winter in the open. Due to its low-growing habit, bright flower colors, long blooming period, and long green leaf period, Grape Hyacinth is an excellent ground cover plant for landscaping.
