Create a stylish display for the patio with this pot and bulb combination. Snow-capped flowers…perfect for that alpine look! As late winter drifts into spring, the popular, reliable and undemanding Muscari has bright blue, grape-like blooms with a fine white margin around the tip. Some flower spike tips are dusted with a snow-like covering of pale blue or even white - a distinctive and eye-catching two-tone effect and a very pretty sight to see in spring. They’re also extremely attractive to spring-flying pollinators.
Garden care:
These hardy spring bulbs prefer well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. The best time to plant grape hyacinth bulbs is in autumn, place them 10cm (4in) deep and 5-7cm (2-3in) apart. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this replenishes the bulb's energy for next year's display. An annual feed with a good general-purpose fertiliser (like Vitax Q4) in autumn will help keep the bulbs healthy. During summer when the bulbs are dormant, lift, divide and replant mature groups that are becoming congested.
In containers, plant Muscari more densely for an abundant show, using a well-draining potting mix. Ensure good drainage and consider moving pots to a sheltered spot during summer dormancy to prevent waterlogging from heavy rains or irrigation equipment.
