Woodstock Hyacinth Bulb Forcing Kit - Clear Glass Vase with Woodstock Hyacinth Bulb Non-GMO black centersHow to Force Hyacinths To force hyacinths on water, set a bulb just above but not touching the water in a forcing vase or other container. Put it in a dark, cold area to root for 8 16 weeks. This could be an unheated mudroom, attic, or garage; a cold frame; or possibly your refrigerator, though many refrigerators are too cold for optimal forcing. The temperature during this rooting period is critical: 40 to 48 F is ideal. Avoid freezing temperatures.
