Nope, deadheading for rebloom isn't really a bulb thing. The flower forms inside the bulb and is then pushed out at bloom time, so the bulb needs the whole year to create another flower.

But there are hyacinths that have multiple stalks, why don't you plant some of those next fall? They send up a procession of many smaller, airier stalks instead of one large, dense spike.

I have Pink Festival and like it very much. There is also a blue and a white version.

Great, I've been thinking about it and now I must have some White Festivals and Blue Festivals. Thanks.

Thx ladychroe I will look for them nexted year they look pretty and bet they smell better.

Mine have the same intoxicating fragrance as the regular hyacinths.

My hyacinths are all coming up now too...I planted about 60 of them in my front beds and in containers too...I could just sit out on the walkway and BREATH....YUMMMMMY...I too wish I could keep them blooming longer...maybe there is something to help with this?

I'd love to know what to use. I have seen different "bloom" fertilizers....will that help?

The Festival series blooms for a longer period, too.
