Here is the BEST Time to Start Hyacinth Seeds in North Dakota (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow hyacinth seeds in North Dakota, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting hyacinth seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Hyacinth Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because North Dakota’s growing season is not long enough, hyacinth seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start hyacinth seeds indoors in North Dakota:

When to Start Hyacinth Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of hyacinth, it takes roughly 90-180 days (3 to 6 months) to grow hyacinth from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 7 months for your hyacinth to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your hyacinth seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the first average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 90 days from it

You can also find the average first frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

North Dakota Frost Dates

To help ensure the greatest success of your hyacinth seeds germinating you should:

  • Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a grow light to control how much light your hyacinth seeds receive
  • Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your hyacinth plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your first frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
