Muscari armeniacum
grape hyacinth bulbs
50 bulbs
available to order from summer
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- 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
- Hardiness: fully hardy
- Bulb size: 7/8
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. 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.
- CAUTION do not eat ornamental bulbs

The bulbs arrived quickly looking very healthy. I was rewarded with flowers the following summer. While there were 50 good bulbs there were also a number of side bulbs which I grew on in a pot and now have addituional ones to put out.

I planted about 150 of these lovely little flowers into a very large tub that I'd underplanted with tulips, also from Crocus website. I've never ordered any plants online before, only bought from local garden centres. I found Crocus a little bit more pricey but what a fantastic display I had from early spring to June. I was so impressed by these bulbs that I'm already planning to buy more for spring 2019 display.

Perfect combination with Narcissus 'Sailboat'. Spreads very quickly so don't buy if you don't have the room for it.
