Spring is here! Our hyacinths field in the Netherlands are in full bloom. At the Ruigrok Flowerbulbs nursery we grow 55 acres of hyacinths.<\/p>\n

Cultivating hyacinths<\/h2>\n

The common method of propagation is by cutting the \u201cmother bulbs\u201d. We take high quality<\/a><\/span> selection bulbs which are 100% free of viruses and bacteria. These bulbs are harvested in July. We carefully cut out the base of the bottom of the bulb and store them in climate controlled rooms for\u00a0temperature treatment. A lot of tiny little bulbs will start to grow at\u00a0the bottom of the bulb. These bulbs are planted by hand in late November.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first summer the little bulbs will have grown out of the old \u201cmother bulb\u201d. In fall they are re-planted to continue their growth. Growing a full size hyacinth<\/a><\/span> takes 3 to 4 years. Selecting the bulbs during their growth is vital. From the first leaves coming up in spring until the harvest in July, we continuously inspect our hyacinth<\/span><\/a> fields to keep them clean of\u00a0viruses and\u00a0infections.<\/span><\/p>\n
