I have 3 hyacinths in my garden and like them very much. Is there a way for me to get more from my mature hyacinths and plant in other locations?

Thanks.

I'm thinking you mean the common garden hyacinths that are fragrant and have a dense flower spike aka Hyacinthus orientalis. Older bulbs will produce small offset bulbs. You would need to dig these up and replant the small bulbs.

It can take 5 to 7 years before the small bulbets flower. It might be best to just purchase more.

Sorry about the mistake with the name ;)

What I meant to ask was how can I make more Hydrangeas?
It seems there is not a whole lot of information on this subject on the web.

Thanks.

I've done things like that and twisted names around. :confused: Not to worry. Propagating hydrangea is fairly easy. This site has a wealth of info on them.

Here's how to propagate them:
