    Hi all,

    bought this a few weeks ago and I can’t remember what it is. I think it was a perennial but just want to know how to manage it after flowering.

    Hi Lee. Is it a Puschinka?

    Hyacinth at the front with a Forget me Not behind it.

    Looks like some Ash seedlings around it :yikes:

      Yes Hyacinth. Remember now. Thank you.

      not sure if it’s does too early because of too much soon or if that is normal.

      do I cut it back or let it die down naturally?

      You could remove the remains of the flowers to ensure all the plant's resources go to the bulb, but the leaves should left on for the same reason.
