Hyacinth in Greenville: depth, winter cold, pests and pets
Plant hyacinths 10 cm deep, at least 7.5 cm apart (RHS).
In Greenville the average daily temperature stays at 10 °C or lower for about 12 weeks a year (our estimate from ten years of monthly weather). For this bulb Wisconsin Horticulture Extension gives a cold period of 12–15 weeks at about 2–10 °C. The winter here gives that in the ground, so the bulbs need no pre-chilling.
Flowers get smaller in the years after planting: for full spikes, replace the bulbs or add a few new ones each autumn (RHS).
If squirrels are a problem, protect the bulbs with wire mesh (RHS). Hyacinths are toxic to dogs, cats and horses: intense vomiting and diarrhoea (ASPCA).
