Do Hyacinth Grow Back?

Hyacinths bloom just once per year (in the spring), but they will happily bloom again in subsequent years if provided with the proper care. They are a perennial plant.

How do I get my hyacinths to bloom again?

Once the leaves are dead, cut the entire plant back to soil level, so only bulb and roots remain. Move your pot to a cold, dark space. You may even want to put a paper grocery or black garbage bag over the pot to keep out the light. Don't touch your hyacinth until the spring.

Does hyacinth bulbs come back every year?

Although these plants are intended for growing indoors, they will grow perfectly well outside, flowering in March and early April and cheerfully reappearing year after year.
