Hyacinths

I have a packet of Hyacinth bulbs and noted the last date for planting was December :o are they worth a shot just for the sake of it or will I be wasting my time? ??? ::) ;D

Go for it Roy. Nothing to loose is there?? And just think of the lovely smell of hyacinths  mmmm heaven.  They will hopefully flower just a little later. Best of luck.

 ;DYes I'd go for it Roy, better than trying to keep them for next year..let us know how they flower.and when.

They certainly won't grow in the packet. They may well sulk for a year, but then they may flower in Summer.

 ;) Thanks Guys, any tips on planting ???  will multi purpose compost do or is there anything better to perhaps give them a boost to catch up ??? ;D

I was thinking that at this stage you would be better planting them in the garden, not in pots!
