How do I care for hyacinths after they have finished blooming?
Once hyacinths have finished blooming, cut off the flower stalks but leave the foliage intact to allow the plant to store energy for the next season. For outdoor hyacinths, allow the leaves to die back naturally before you dig up the bulbs if you plan to move them. If growing indoors, you can either discard the bulbs or store them in a cool, dry place until fall when they can be replanted. Be sure to handle the bulbs after the foliage dies back carefully, as bulbs are toxic. Propagating hyacinths can be done by planting offset bulbs, which form naturally from the main bulb.
