This year, my Dutch hyacinths also set seed, which they rarely do. I attribute this to the very unusual weather patterns here this winter, with unseasonably warm temperatures during some spells. To answer the question, yes, at least some of the seeds would probably produce plants, but no, they would not be identical to the parent selection. Jane McGary Northwestern Oregon, USA
