I have a good number of hyacinths, I noticed as they are coming up and beginning to flower that some are not as large as they once were. I know they are gtting older and that is to be expected. I have read some conflicting information about what tot do with them now. Some websites say fertilize them, some say dig them and toss them after they are done blooming, and another said dig them and pull off any off-shoots or cut them in quarters and replant. I am not sure what to do???

I do want to move some of them around after they go dormant would that be a better time to fertilize them rather than now? What kind of fertilizer is best for hyacinths?
