Muscari armeniacum, commonly known as Grape Hyacinth, is a delightful spring-flowering bulb that produces dense spikes of rich cobalt-blue, bell-shaped flowers with delicate white edges. Flowering from March to April, these fragrant blooms reach approximately 15cm in height, making them perfect for borders, rockeries, containers, woodland gardens and naturalising beneath trees or through lawns. Their sweet fragrance and vibrant colour provide an early source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.

Supplied as an XL Value Pack, Muscari armeniacum is ideal for planting in generous drifts where it will return year after year, gradually forming colourful carpets of flowers. Recognised by the RHS Plants for Pollinators programme, this easy-to-grow variety is valued for both its ornamental appeal and wildlife benefits.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can store energy for the following spring. Once established, Muscari armeniacum will naturalise readily, producing larger clumps and increasingly impressive displays each year. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years if required to maintain healthy growth.
