I am a very new gardener in a quest to successfully grow hyacinths. I live in northeastern Canada (Zone 5b) and planted 5 bulbs in containers back in January, left them outside, and they never sprouted. I bought a discounted Hyacinth plant that looked quite wilted, and promptly cut down the "sad" droopy looking leaves (oops!). Is there any way to save the potted plant where I trimmed most of the leaves? The plant had bloomed but the flowers had died in-store. Any advice on the potted plant or planting hyacinths in containers in zone 5b would be appreciated.
