Hello, Jaana, thank you for your question. Once your hyacinth plant has fully bloomed and its flowers have faded, you will want to remove the blooms, but not the foliage. Allowing the leaves to remain is important because bulbs need their leaves to gain energy for the following year’s growing season. In late spring or early summer, the leaves will die back naturally and that is when your hyacinth will enter its dormant period and can be dug up. You will want to store your bulbs indoors in a cool, dark, and dry place until the fall or winter, depending on your location. Like all spring flowering bulbs, hyacinth need a cold period in the fall and winter in order to bloom the following spring.
