    Yes, you can pot up the plants for some early spring enjoyment!

    The best thing you can do here is let them die from the next frost, and mulch then. You will be at the mercy of nature for now. This happens sometimes, and there is little that you can do for them.

    Most mutations are random and are a result of a change within the cells of the plant, but mutations can sometimes be triggered by cold weather, temperature fluctuations or insect damage.
    Generally, genetic mutations are not a problem, and can be pruned out if undesirable; however, many sports will die out or revert back to their original form of their own accord.
    Some sports are stable and may be of interest to growers who are always looking for or producing new plants.

    They are usually fine with growing alongside other plants. I suppose it would depend on the type of other plants.

    It could also be of some effect if the Hyacinths are overcrowded, and don't allow for any other bulbs to take hold.

    Can you include more information about the types of flowers that you are trying to plant, and if this is shade/sun?

    They may have disappeared because the bulbs were not treated properly after blooming. Follow these instructions for the next bloom.

    Those are, in fact, the seed pods. Once they start to turn tan, you can begin to harvest the black seeds inside. If they are not black, then they are likely not ripe and will not germinate.

    I'm afraid that it is far too early for blooms, just yet.

    If they have not flowered by mid to late Spring, then you can try adding a little phosphorus and potassium to the soil. Sometimes, just a little too much nitrogen will halt flowering.

    Here is an article that will help you to care for these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/grape-hyacinth/planting-and-care-of-grape-hyacinths.htm
