    Yes, to do this remove the bloom fully. Place the plant inside in a sunny location. Water frequently and add plant food. Once the foliage is yellow, remove it. Plant hyacinth in the shadiest part of the yard. Place fertilizer and bone meal in the hole and place the bulbs face down in the hole. Cover them with soil and water frequently.

  • Question
    How do I propagate hyacinth bulbs from vegetative cuttings, not seeds? I have read the bulb can be cut from the root side but not divided completely, that that encourages bubs to form.

    Sometimes the main bulb produces smaller bulbs. These can be removed and will produce new plant if planted. If you cut the main bulb in half, it will not produce any stem or flowers.
