Hyacinths

[coccinelle]

I've been given hyacinths from a few friends this Christmas so they're the forced ones which flowered over the Xmas period. What do i do now? Leave them to dry out and plant in autumn or just plant out in Spring? Also can I put them outside now to die back?

Just put them out in the garden in a sheltered spot to die off, you can re-plant them in the spring. They will then flower every spring, although the flower spikes will not be as good, but they do scent the air nicely.

Thank you SlackAlice, that's what I'll do.
