Dividing And Transplanting Grape Hyacinth In Early Spring.

These little flowers come up every year, and it seems like I get some surprise new ones each year. Thought I would move a few from a large clump to a new location.
I garden in zone 6b. We have some pretty challenging weather sometimes. I don't claim to be an expert, so you will see my successes and my failures. I really appreciate feedback, so please say hi so I'll know you've dropped by.

Good to know they can withstand that and still bloom a few weeks later. Tough little buggers.

+The Last Grownup in the Woods They are tough enough that some people consider them weeds.

The blooms on the Hyacinths are WONDERFUL and they look like they have settled into their new location really well :-) thanks so much for sharing Jim and sending an abundance of love and happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful afternoon XXXXX

I dug a bunch of these up today. Before seeing your video I was wondering why so many onions were growing where I planted grape hyacinths. Thanks for the vid!

[@MidwestGardener]

You're welcome! I know what you mean......they do look like onions :)

nice I really like these plants, I transplanted a wild patch growing in the lawn on the lower property to my slopes last year happy to say they are coming up great :) I moved mine last spring when they were in flower

[@MidwestGardener]

+Mark Thieme Yep, I think they are probably hardy enough to be moved just about anytime.

[@suemiller1947]

Thank you for this video. I never thought of transplanting my grape hyacinth. They are growing into the grass. I will wait till next spring just too much going on right now

[@MidwestGardener]

+Sue Miller (hobbypainter) I understand about too much going on. My life gets that way sometimes.

I've got alot of these coming up. I don't like how the leaves just sit in my yard. It looks like unkept clumps of grass. Wouldn't want to eradicate the plant though. Any tips for tidying up so it looks more presentable? Is it ok to just cut back all of the leaves substantially? Thanks!

[@MidwestGardener]

I've never tried just trimming the leaves a lot, but these are pretty hardy plants for the most part. It might be worth a try.

@@MidwestGardener Really appreciate your reply. Take care!
