Eventually, the foliage will dry and collapse. (You knew that, right?) Your mission, if you want these bulbs to bloom again is to allow them to experience winter. Or conditions like it. Hyacinths and other spring bulbs sold in pots are, typically, forced into blooming. If planted in a zone/area that experiences freezing conditions and/or snow before that cold sets in and snow flies, they have a reasonably good chance of coming back the following spring. They are not likely to dry out because they will be exposed to rain and, as noted, possibly snow. You could TRY lifting/digging them out of the soil in the early winter and repotting them and tending them indoors—watering and giving them sun, as needed. They might come back. It would be an interesting experiment.
Can you keep them in a pot, put them in the fridge or freezer, and then expect them to bloom again in spring? You can try. People ask that all the time, and some people claim great success. At least take the bulbs out of the pot/soil and store them in peat moss. Do not put them into a plastic bag; they will suffocate (dry out). They might dry out anyway; they will not be exposed to rain.
The best thing you can do is appreciate these bulbs while they last. And plan to get a few more next season.
