Hyacinths and daffodils are generally the easiest. Tulips are slightly more difficult, but with proper treatments they can be forced successfully. Many small bulbs such as crocus, grape hyacinth and snowdrops also may be forced. The general procedure for forcing all these bulbs is similar. Purchase only top quality, flowering-size bulbs for indoor forcing.
Good bulbs contain ingredients necessary for successfully producing roots, leaves and flowers.
These are usually the most easily forced spring bulbs. They may be forced in water or potted. Potting should be done in late September or early October. Plants will flower about one month after being brought indoors from the chilling treatment. Earliest bloom from bulbs can be expected about mid-January.
