The Christmas hyacinths have arrived a little late. Calculated to flower at Christmas, 10 weeks after planting, they are arriving now, approximately 10 weeks after Christmas - about the normal time. Why?Obviously my fault. I must have bought normal hyacinth bulbs instead of specially treated 'Christmas' ones. I did give them 10 weeks of dark and cool treatment, but it must have been too late. Perhaps I should have started 10 weeks earlier and put the bulbs in the fridge to keep them cool and dark. Live and learn.
