Can one grow Hyacinths from seed?

My hyacinths have finished flowering and there appear to be a lot of seed pods drying on the withering stems. Are the seeds in these pods viable, and if I wanted to plant them how long should I wait to harvest the seeds, and should I let the seeds dry out for a period of time or immediately plant them if I want to try to grow more plants. As for the bulbs in the ground, when should I dig them up, and when should I replant them? I live in southern California where it is rare to get a hard freeze. These hyacinths have been growing outside for several years now and have never been thinned out and the clumps of flowers keep getting bigger each year. They are growing in an area with mostly shade. If I replant them should I put them in a sunnier area?
