Is grape hyacinth poisonous to cats or does it just make them throw up?
According to the ASPCA, grape hyacinths are considered non-toxic to both cats and dogs. If your cat is vomiting after eating them, it could be that too much was ingested and simply caused a belly ache. Also, cats (and dogs) commonly eat grass and sometimes other plants in order to induce vomiting when they do not feel well. If you are concerned about your cat and unsure whether it is sick, a call or visit to the vet may be necessary.
They are taking over!!!
While typically this is done in fall, you can also transplant grape hyacinth in spring but try to wait until they have bloomed and then transplant, lifting as much of the dirt around them as possible without leaving any holes in the lawn/garden (during fall, you need only lift the bulbs). Prepare the new location before lifting the bulbs and water wellafter moving.
I planted some summer annuals and I uprooted quite a few tulips and grape hyacinths. Can I replant them now? They have been out of the ground for about two weeks. Should I put them in the fridge till fall? I don't know what to do. Can you help?
You can plant them now or you can store them for the summer. Tulips in particular do well when stored for the summer. Do not store them in the cold though. When storing for the summer, put them in a warm, dry place. They need to be warm in the summer and cold in the winter to bloom well.
I have bulbs in pots. When is the best time to lift them and when should I plant them outside?
Given that these are hardy bulbs, they generally do not require lifting unless in extremely cold regions. Planting is usually performed in fall for spring blooming. That does not mean you can't go ahead and plant them now, only that you may not see any blooms until the next season. If it gets cold enough where you live to chill them in the ground, you can plant them in fall. But, if it does not get cold enough for them to get the chill time they need to flower, you will need to pre-chill them and plant them after they are pre-chilled.

Do grape hyacinths reproduce with seeds? Grape hyacinths spread everywhere and seem to reproduce via seeds. How funny for a bulb to produce seeds. I wish tulips did the same. Tell me more about this unusual bulb.

I received a large Grape Hyacinth last year. After it bloomed, I put the bulb in a bag and then forgot to plant it in the fall. I just came across the bag and, to my surprise, the bulb has a two inch shoot coming out of it. Since we still have several inches of snow, should I just plant the bulb in a pot and let it grow and hopefully bloom? There are no roots, just a green shoot coming out of it.

Unlike the majority, I hate grape hyacinths with a passion. The problem is my garden is "infested" with them. Apart from digging them up, which would take forever, how can I kill them off?
I am afraid that they can only be eradicated by digging up the plants or using a broad spectrum herbicide, which would kill everything in the area. You can minimize their spread (so you don't feel you are fighting a losing battle) by removing the foliage and any seed pods. This will keep seeds from being spread and weaken the bulbs so they can't produce bulblets.
