Caring Tips

Watering

Water hyacinths need full sun and hot summer temperatures. Introduce them to the garden by scattering bunches of plants over the surface of the water. They quickly take hold and begin to grow. Thin the plants when they cover more than 60 percent of the water surface.

Light

For the largest blooms and straightest stems, choose a site that gets full sun. The bulbs are tolerant of partial shade as well. Grow in loosened, moderately fertile soil that drains well. Avoid low areas where water collects; hyacinths will rot in wet soil.
