Muscari Comosum, also known as Tassel Grape Hyacinth, is a truly unusual spring flowering bulb, prized for its distinctive flower spikes topped with elegant violet-blue tassels. Unlike traditional grape hyacinths, this fascinating variety produces a cluster of fertile flowers below, crowned with a striking tuft of feathery violet blooms that create an eye-catching architectural display. Flowering during April and May, Muscari Comosum is perfect for adding texture and interest to borders, rockeries, wildlife gardens and naturalised planting schemes.

This hardy and easy-to-grow variety thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions and returns year after year with very little maintenance. Its nectar-rich flowers are particularly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can replenish their energy for the following season. Avoid cutting back leaves until they have yellowed completely. Divide established clumps every few years if they become overcrowded to maintain healthy flowering displays.
