Muscari armeniacum
Muscari is commonly known as grape-hyacinth and it is very easy to grow, winter-sturdy flower! Muscari grows long, sturdy stems with purple, fragrant and tightly packed urn-shaped flowers that resemble grapes! The flower approves any medium-moisture soil and looks fantastic in the garden, perimeters, container, wooden pots and barrels, that have become very popular these days. To add a royal blue shade to our grape hyacinth assortment, we have chosen to add Muscari Botryoides and Muscari Armeniacum! Make sure to plant your muscari bulbs in the autumn so they can self-seed and surprise you with more and more flowers every year. The grape-hyacinths are also available in various shapes and multicolours!

- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
