HOW TO GROW
Sowing: For best results, direct sow outdoors in the fall; plant just below the surface of the soil. This wild hyacinth seed may be slow to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting.
Growing: Though it adapts to many soils including sand, this plant prefers moist, fairly heavy soil such as clay. It develops rather slowly, and may not bloom until several years after sprouting. Seedlings need regular watering as they become established, and mature plants may also need occasional watering in blooming season. High heat or excess moisture may cause this plant to stop blooming or go dormant. After blooming the plant will wither and go dormant until next year; the stem can be cut down after blooming has finished, though this will prevent the development of seed. If left to self-seed, this plant will produce volunteer seedlings. It attracts butterflies and bees.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut the stems and place them in water immediately.
Seed Saving: When the seed heads begin to dry and contain mature black seed, remove them and spread them out to dry. Thresh to remove the Camassia Scilloides seed. Store wild hyacinth seeds in a cool, dry place.

So disappointed
These are native to this area, but no matter how many times or different locations that I plant these, they just haven't grown.
Wild Hyacinths take a lot of patience. The little bulb might grow to just the size of a BB in the first year with very little above ground. But give them some time, and they will eventually get up to flowering size.
So pretty
I purchased 3 seed packets last year and was so pleased that I ordered many more. I can't wait for the weekend to plant.
Excellent products. Fast shipping
Like the product, hate the packaging.
Packages very hard to open....the seeds are great once you get to them!
