Hi,

Last year I was given 2x Hyacinth bulbs that had flowered. I have
re-grown them this year, but the as of yet have not flowered. Aside
form the large leaves that are sprouting from the top of the bulb,
there are also side leaves or side shoots beginning to show, say 3-4 cm
away from the bulb.

Thaey are in a cool & bright position - I have some cyclamen nearby
that are thriving.

Should I cut these side shoots off, or let them grow? Or am I totally
wasting my time, as, perhaps, hyacinth bulbs that give off side shoots
will not flower?

It's highly unlikely they will flower this year as when you bought them
they were specially prepared for early flowering. The best way to deal
with such bulbs is to plant them in the garden after flowering, and buy
some new ones for next year.
