Muscari Armeniacum, commonly known as Grape Hyacinth, is a delightful spring flowering bulb producing dense spikes of rich cobalt-blue, bell-shaped flowers with a light fragrance. Flowering throughout March and April, these compact blooms reach approximately 15cm in height and create vibrant carpets of colour beneath trees, along pathways, in borders and containers. Their vivid blue flowers contrast beautifully with tulips, daffodils and other spring bulbs.

Reliable and easy to grow, Muscari Armeniacum naturalises readily, returning year after year in increasing numbers. Its fragrant flowers are highly attractive to bees and other early pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Plant in generous drifts for the most impressive spring display.
