Clearly state the concern/question/issue. Is it color, height, drying out?

### Alex\_p1@nt$ commented on 2025-04-23

The color of the petals

### Plant lover commented on 2025-04-23

Uh… idk, I think it’s a hyacinth but please tell me if I’m wrong, and hyacinths are meant to be outside :>

#### Alex\_p1@nt$ replied on 2025-04-23

Oh ok. Yes it is a hyacinth I will move it outside right now. Thank you!

#### Plant lover replied on 2025-04-23

I have a few hyacinths growing outside rn, I think it might be natural water or smth with full Sun, but they like being outside-  
No problem btw :>

#### Alex\_p1@nt$ replied on 2025-04-23

Should I clip the browned leaves?

#### Plant lover replied on 2025-04-23

Definitely clip dead petals, it’ll make room for new petals to grow either next spring or this spring :>

#### Alex\_p1@nt$ replied on 2025-04-23

Ok ty! :)

### Kate commented on 2025-04-23

Hyacinths only bloom for a short time. I did this same thing. Planted a couple in water inside. After they were done blooming I took them outside. I believe this is just naturally how they die down after a little bit of time. Unless it came out that way or didn’t look good ever, then I don’t know. Leave the leaves on when you plant the bulb the leaves give nutrients to the bulb so it can come up again next year! Don’t they smell amazing?!?

### Alex\_p1@nt$ commented on 2025-04-23

Ok thank you! And yes they do!

### Kate commented on 2025-04-23

Also I’m pretty sure it will not bloom again this year. They are like tulips and daffodils they only grow one flower in the spring. Unless your bulb gives you two flowers but it won’t reflower. Just plant it outside when you are ready and it should pop up next year.

Hyacinth s are bulbs that you typically plant in the ground in the fall. I have one that has come up for several years. The ones you buy in the store are forced but you can put them in the ground and expect them to grow. The one you have is just spent. The flowers only last so long and then they're done. They are considered ephemerals. They grow up in the spring, give a beautiful show, and die back into dormancy by early summer. The foliage will stay green for a little while after the flowers died back.

### Kate commented on 2025-04-25

Hey! I also planted some outside in the fall. It was so fun to watch them come up. But I have one that looks almost like yours. Almost done blooming about the same color. Just made me think of your post. Not sure if you will see this or not.
