Do Hyacinths Multiply?

Ask The Expert: Do hyacinths multiply? When is the best time and method to move them? Patty

Reply:

Yes, they produce offshoots that can be removed during the dormant season.  The dormant season for hyacinths is summer.  The best way is to dig up your hyacinths and remove the offshoots and place the parent bulb right back into the ground.  You can either plant the offshoots at that time or wait until later.  If you are not immediately planting the offshoots, you will need to clean all soil off of the bulb and keep in a moist free envorionment with good air circulation.

    why does my hyacinthus lean over?

  2. Jeffrey Balch says:

    Several factors could make a hyacinth lean. It could just be the variety of hyacinth– taller varieties are naturally prone to falling. It could also be due to not receiving enough light or getting too hot. It could even be due to the bulbs not being planted deep enough, which leads to weak stems that are more likely to bend.
