Hiya guys!

I was looking on Metz earlier, and they said to leave the bottom of hycacinths in tact.

I was lead to believe that they can't take up water/nutrients if you leave the white fleshy bit on the bottom.

What is the right thing to do as I am ordering 100's for a wedding? They are going to line the sides of the aisle on a moss bed with tea-lights. Don't wanna all droop now do I!

The white fleshy bit is what is left once the outer bulb is cut/sheared away. This is still full of the nutrients of the bulb, hence why they last so long and I think the hyacinth just drinks up through this. We never cut hyacinths and results are fine. Plus they ooze slime if you do cut them!

Your hyacinth wedding sounds lush - hope you'll post pics

nope, enver cut hyacinths. the bulbous white fleshy bit just needs to be washed under running water to get rid of the grit.

Cause it says it the wrong file type and/or too big...

I'll look into the previous threads on this again, but I think I need a big drink to help the proceedings!
