Muscari are a must-grow for every garden. Known as Grape Hyacinths for their cones of rounded blue bells and their grapy fragrance, they're small but mighty. They pop up reliably every year in mid-spring, wowing us anew with their subtle but stunning beauty.
Muscari armeniacum is the most common and beloved of all Grape Hyacinth. Its cobalt-blue blooms, when planted in dense sweeps, look like flowing water. But Muscari can also be pale blue, dark blue, golden yellow, white or even pink. And don't forget the two-toned varieties like M. latifolium and M. latifolium Grape Ice! Muscari also force well and make wonderful cut flowers for dainty bouquets, where you can enjoy all of their intricacies and charms. See our entire selection HERE.
