Forcing Hyacinth Bulbs Brings A Hint Of Spring To Indoor Gardens

If your long range weather forecast is like ours, you better bundle up and plan on another 15-20″ of snow before spring arrives.  Time to start forcing hyacinth bulbs and creating a beautiful spring-like garden indoors!

When you get hyacinths to bloom indoors before their normal bloom time it’s called “forcing” the bulbs to grow.   They really are so easy and they make wonderful gifts.

You know how anxious people are to see the first jolt of spring color after a long, grey, cold winter!  (Especially if Phil sees his shadow today!)  You’re sure to see smiles when you give hyacinth bulbs and vases as hostess gifts, or birthday gifts, or even Valentine’s…
