Wondering if potted hyacinths will bloom next year if planted outside this spring?? I know forced daffodil bulbs will not bloom again if planted.

When I've put them out, both have bloomed.
The thing is... just go ahead and plant them.

I had white hyacinths live, rebloom, and even add more stems for several years. Very happy.
I had Tete a Tete daffodils (forced, florist ones) also live many years.

Thanks for this information. I will plant them after the finish blooming.

Indeed- the devil is in the details!

-Hardiness and variety is a factor
-Bulb 'recharge' is a factor

Sure- just try it!

Hardiness: in your hardiness zone (6,) the very popular forced paperwhite daffodils (Narcissus papyraceus) are not winter hardy for you.
Others in warmer climates might do better.
Hyacinths should do alright for you as far as hardiness.

Bulb recharge:
Also, forced bulbs expend a great deal of energy in blooming, and must recover this store of energy after blooming to live in an outdoor setting afterwords.

Imagine your forced bulbs in water-
There's no energy in water for the bub to replenish itself-
And, it now has water roots- different than soil roots. Putting them right into soil after bloom probably won't give it time to regrow soil roots, recharge its energy stores, then go dormant. It might live, but take several season cycles before it can rebloom.

Bulbs forced in soil, then allowed to grow their leaves for a time before going dormant will have much better survival odds when later planted outdoors.

Just try it!

Yes they will bloom each year. They may be smaller than the typical forced hyacinths offered for sale in the holiday period but will be reliably perennial. Let the leaves feed the bulbs to form flower buds for the next year.
