Can I Plant A Hyacinth In March?

Question

I just want to know if it’s possible to plant a hyacinth bulb now in March? outside?

Answer 1

You can plant it if the ground is not frozen. They need about three months of cold temperatures to initiate bloom so it may not bloom till next year. You can force a bloom, but it will still be three months to get a bloom. Here is more:
