Muscari Grape Ice is a distinctive grape hyacinth producing compact, two-tone flower spikes in rich violet-purple, soft green and crisp white. The densely packed, bell-shaped flowers gradually lighten towards the top of each spike, creating a beautifully layered display in the early spring garden. Flowering during March and April, this compact variety reaches approximately 15cm in height, making it ideal for borders, rockeries, containers and naturalised planting beneath deciduous trees.

Specially selected by Taylor's for its stunning two-tone flowers, Muscari Grape Ice has received the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliable garden performance. It is also recognised as an RHS Plants for Pollinators variety, providing a valuable early source of nectar for bees and other beneficial insects. Once established, the bulbs can gradually form colourful drifts that return each spring.

Aftercare
Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can replenish their energy for the following season. Muscari Grape Ice performs best when left undisturbed, gradually forming attractive clumps and increasingly colourful spring displays. Divide congested clumps after the foliage has died back if flowering begins to decline.
