question for gardener types

I now have a couple of hyacinths in a pot. When the blooms are gone, are these bulbs done? Or can I cut back the flower stalks and put some plant food in the pot and plant the things in the ground in the fall?

Plant 'em.

Hyacinths don't last forever. After a few years the flower stalk gets wimpier and wimpier, but it's worth planting them.
