What do I do with my hyacinth after it blooms?
After your hyacinths have bloomed, remove the faded flower spikes and allow the foliage to die back. Dig up the bulbs, discard any damaged or diseased ones, and then dry them and store in paper sacks before replanting in the fall.
Does hyacinth bulbs come back every year?
Although these plants are intended for growing indoors, they will grow perfectly well outside, flowering in March and early April and cheerfully reappearing year after year.
Do hyacinths multiply every year?
Hyacinth bulbs will spread and multiply if left in the ground to return the next year; however, they will generally only last 3 or 4 years.
How many years do hyacinths last?
Dig up the bulbs where winter temperatures remain above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and chill them somewhere dark and cold for six to 10 weeks. Unfortunately, hyacinth bulbs are short-lived and will probably last only three or four years.
Will a hyacinth bloom again?
Hyacinths bloom just once per year (in the spring), but they will happily bloom again in subsequent years if provided with the proper care. They are a perennial plant.
Will hyacinth bulbs flower again?
Yes you can, but the easiest thing to do is to plant them out, as soon as the flowers have faded, in the garden. Put them into pots (at least 10cm deep). They may look a bit odd the next spring, but should be fine in the following years.
How fast do hyacinth multiply?
The time for your new “bulbs” to reach flowering size depends on the kind of bulb and the method of propagation: a year for a daffodil offset, a couple of years for a crocus cormel or lily scale, three or four years for hyacinth bulblets.
What does hyacinth symbolize?
Symbolism. The hyacinth is the flower of the sun god Apollo and is a symbol of peace, commitment and beauty, but also of power and pride. The hyacinth is often found in Christian churches as a symbol of happiness and love.
How do you Rebloom hyacinth?
Move your pot to a cold, dark space. You may even want to put a paper grocery or black garbage bag over the pot to keep out the light. Don’t touch your hyacinth until the spring. At that point, begin to expose it gradually to light, and it should begin to send up new shoots.
