Default Hyacinth pods

Hello-

I have a small group of hyacinths that have boomed and withered. On the
stalks were a number of 1-2 cm diameter pods which I pulled off and put
aside. They are now each beginning to sprout a thin shoot. My question--can
I plant these pods and produce new hyacinth plants? If so, can someone
please supply instructions on how best to plant the pods?

Thanks,

Keith Bernstein

Hi Keith,

Just put them in the soil and in about 5 years you should see flowers. This site is for tulips, but the process is the same.
