I live in a very temperate climate (So. Cal, Ventura, CA) and though we
never have freezing temps, my hyacinth all pretty much die out this time
of year. A few bits remain. I usually add a few once the season gets
going.
====================
Check them for MITES. I found I was losing them also,.... then checked them
real close with a magnifying glass. There were tiny mites all around the
center that were very hard to see. Washing them off with hot water really
helped but you have to keep doing it. They're getting expensive enough here
to where I'm going to make a real effort to keep some over next winter.
