A couple of months ago I bought a big pot of the most beautiful, vivid blue, hyacinths.
They have flowered and are now dying back and I seem to remember, at my junior school (early 1960's), that we had a school project where we grew hyacinths, tended to them and once they were "spent" we were taught how to prepare the bulbs and then properly store them so that they could be replanted the following year.
All I can remember is that they had to be stored in a dark place.
Can anyone advise me as to how I prepare the bulbs ready for storing them, how and where to store them and when do I bring them out for replanting?
Thank you.
