My species tulips ended up being a little messy in their forced pots, but they are starting to open now and are adding some extra color to the windowsill while I wait for my next batch of hyacinths to open.
I’m bringing the potted bulbs out of the refrigerator in a staggered fashion so that the colorful show can go on for a month or more. Forced bulbs need to chill for at least 12 to 15 weeks.
Hyacinths are my favorite spring bulbs to sprout because they’re so neat and tidy in the pots and they have that lovely fragrance.
