Hyacinths

[QuakerBear]

I was given some bulbs over Christmas and I've grown them up in a bowl at work. They have a strong scent and I've used them as a natural air-freshener to mask unpleasent smells from the men I work with (they've worked really well at this and don't have the nasty chemicals that commercial air-fresheners have, which I hate).

Now the flowers have gone over. I'd like to plant them in a corner of my allotment but don't know how I should do this. Do I wait for the leaves to die down? Do I dry them out first like onions? Help I've never done flowers before and they're really beautiful I don't want to loose them!

Thanks

I've just bunged them in once the flowering was over. seemed to work

Suggest you heel them in until the foliage has died down then around August replant the bulbs at a better depth.
