Hello
A few years back I purchased a few blu hyacinths which I put in a pot on the patio, after a couple of years they had multipled but the flowers were not that of a normal full hyacinth, and really were not more then 2 or 3 little bells, a bit like a blue bell.
So last year I took them all out of the pot and planted them around my garden - to see what might happen
And basicaly what has happened is that most of them are just foliage with 1 or 2 just having a couple of little blue folowers again like a skinny blue bell
Is it best now just to pull them out, I dont really wnat them just for foliage!!! I guess there is no way to get them back to proper hyacinths???
Does anyone know what has actually happened to them to make them do this?
Thanks
It could be they were forced bulbs to begin with and these always take a couple of years to recover or they they just aren't big enough to flower properly yet-especially as you have said they have multiplied
Depends if you want to persevere with them really in the hope that you will get "proper "hyacinths?
thanks the dogcody
so does that mean that they could, if left in place, become full hyacinths again?
Could-such an emotive word-try feeding them with a liquid feed-if they flowered properly the first year then in time- yes.
Many thanks
