Rodney,

You have added another piece of information. I had never heard a number of
hours of light needed. Where did you get the figure? Many of us have tried
holding hyacinth over the winter, only to lose them slowly, even in warmth.
Perhaps longer artificial light would help us. Any other gems of WH

They did survive but only just.
