Growing Instructions for Hyacinths
You can germinate these pretty easily on moist paper towels or coffee filters in a baggie in the refrigerator. Just check them weekly, and plant any that sprout. Figure about three months at refrigerator temperatures. You will get lots of seedlings this way. Remember that they sprout at cold temperatures, so this isn't like regular prechill, where you give a seed a set period of cold, then bring them out to sprout at warm temps. Leave them in until they actually start to sprout, and remove and plant out only the ones that have started to sprout. Leave the rest (unsprouted ones) in the 'fridge until they start roots.
Do not plant in an area in your garden that remains wet or moist for long periods of time sa the bulbs may start to rot. Bulbs can be dug up over the summer months to prevent rotting, this will prevent new bulbs from forming on the adult bulb.
Divide bulbs in autumn.
