• Position: full sun
• Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil (for container-grown bulbs use two parts John Innes No2 compost to one part sharp grit)
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: April and May
• Flower colour: blue
• Other features: strap-like, mid-green leaves
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Charming, cone-shaped spikes of tiny, mid-blue flowers appear in April and May above the grass-like, mid-green leaves. Grape hyacinths look gorgeous peeping out of a large container, planted with yellow, spring-flowering pansies and tulips. Quickly forming small colonies, they're also valuable for naturalising at the front of a sunny mixed or shrub border.
  
  
• Garden care: Plant 10cm (4in) deep in naturalistic groups in autumn. During summer when the bulbs are dormant lift and divide groups that are becoming congested.
