Has anyone tried to overwinter hyacinths? I've read to put them in a
shallow
bowl with aquatic planting soil on the bottom and lots of water so that
it's a
thin mud consistency. I would like to be able to save some of them since
they
can be a bit expensive to buy. Any comments appreciated. Thanks in
advance

I dont know where you are.

I am in zone 7. I tie 3 to a brick and sink it in the pond. 1 or 2
survive with a teeny bit of green and go on to make many more.
