Either method will take patience. For the first year, the hyacinth will not sprout much more than a few leaves.

How long does it take for a hyacinth to grow?
Whether they're placed in water or soil, hyacinths will produce flowers in about 6 weeks. Start by purchasing the best-quality pre-chilled bulbs you can find, choosing ones that are large and blemish-free. To force the bulbs in soil, pot them in containers with a well-drained soil mix.
How do you multiply hyacinth bulbs?

Are hyacinth poisonous to dogs?
Tulips and Hyacinth bulbs contain a toxin which can irritate dogs' mouths and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in drooling, vomiting and diarrhoea. Serious cases are rare but heart problems and difficulty breathing are also symptoms of Tulip poisoning.
Do hyacinth grow back every year?
Hyacinths bloom just once per year (in the spring), but they will happily bloom again in subsequent years if provided with the proper care. They are a perennial plant.
How many days hyacinth seeds germinate?
Place the seeds on paper towels to dry again, then store the dry seeds in closed baggies in the refrigerator until they germinate. No other care is required. When germination occurs, you will see little shoots just beginning to grow from the seeds. Expect this to occur in about three months.
Do hyacinths need full sun?
Sun or Shade: For the largest flowers and straightest stems, plant your hyacinths in full sun. The bulbs will also flower in light shade or half-day sun. Hardiness Zone: Hyacinths are winter hardy in growing zones 4-8. In warmer climates, the bulbs need to be pre-chilled before planting.
Can you leave hyacinth bulbs in pots?
Hyacinths are famous for their pleasant fragrance. They also grow very well in pots, meaning once they're in bloom you can move them wherever you'd like, perfuming a patio, a walkway, or a room in your house.
Can I plant hyacinth bulbs in spring?
Hyacinths are perennials, so you can plant them once and they'll come back every spring. Hyacinths are easier to grow than other spring bulbs, and they can be forced indoors in pots or a bulb vase.
How do I save my potted hyacinth bulbs?
Curing hyacinths is very easy. Lay the bulbs out on a newspaper in a cool, dark place for three days. After that, store them in a cool, dark location in a mesh bag. They're now ready to be planted in your garden in the autumn or forced indoors in late winter.
