Feather hyacinth is a hardy spring-blooming bulb that thrives in well-drained soil with partial to full sun exposure. Water regularly during spring growth but allow the bulb to dry out once the foliage yellows and dies back in summer. Plant bulbs in autumn at about twice their depth for best results, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
