    Hyacinths, sweet peas and Primroses

    I have 3 questions for you, the experts

    1 I grew my hyacinths in pots in the dark indoors and they have now got 2-3" green shoots and are too big for the pots. Is it ok to repot them and keep them indoors to flower?

    2 I bought some sweet peas from B&Q today which are around 3" tall. What do I do with them now? Shoud i keep them in my unheated greenhouse?

    3 I also bought some flowering primroses and am wondering if i can put them out in pots in the garden now?

    I live in Royston S.Yorkshire and we have heavy frosts

    Many thanks

    Dave

    I have some primroses that I grew from seed out in the garden in troughs, they are ok even with the 7 inches of snow we have just had, so they shouldn't be a problem if they are put outside.

    Sweet peas should be ok in the greenhouse for now.

    The other one, I'd wait for another more experienced grape to come by.

      Sweetpeas - unheated greenhouse

      Primroses - I would harden them off 7-10 days if you aren't sure they've been done already

      Hyacinths .. lol

        Thankyou Herbie and Two sheds

        The Primroses were outside in B&Q but had a roof over them so I dont know if they have been hardened off. Maybe I should leave them in the greenhouse for a week.

        Ill wait for info regarding the Hyacinths, I really hope they flower as the ones I saw in B&Q smelt fantastic

          Your hyacinths ... yes, pot them up into something just a little larger

              If they were mine, I would harden them off as normal, ie keep them in a cold greenhouse, but put them outside for a few hours each day, gradually increasing the time they spend outside, over a period of 7-10 days
