Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'City of Haarlem' bulbs in fall, approximately 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart in well-drained soil. These adaptable hyacinths thrive in full sun to partial shade (minimum 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) and perform best in USDA hardiness zones 4-8. After flowering in mid-spring, remove spent blooms but allow foliage to die back naturally. Apply a winter mulch in colder regions to protect bulbs and ensure reliable spring performance year after year.
