Muscari latifolium
Muscari Latifolium is a blue grape-hyacinth with a self-willed character! Not only it grows taller (up to 40 cm) than a regular muscari, it also creates a single bicolored cone-shaped flower! The lower part of the flower has a deep purple shade and the upper part is light violet. Muscari is very easy to grow and it doesn’t require any special care. A great fact about muscari is that it can self-seed in your garden! Make sure to plant your muscari bulbs in the autumn so they can naturalize and surprise you with more flowers every year. The grape-hyacinths are also available in various shapes and multicolours!

- First loosen the soil well where the muscari bulbs will be planted. Then the soil is easier to work with.
- Dig a hole and make sure it is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulbs.
- For the distance between the bulbs, make sure it is 2 times the diameter of the bulbs.
- Plant the flower bulbs in the hole with the pointed side facing up or with the root base facing down.
- Cover the muscari bulbs with soil and water them well.
