• Muscari armeniacum is a Spring flowering perennial that produces cone shaped spikes of tiny mid blue flowers in April and May loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. These grape hyacinths can grow to between 15 and 20 cm in height during the months of March and April. When planted en masse, they create a carpet of colour wherever planted and come back better each year in UK gardens.


• These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They are also ideal for growing in woodland gardens or rock gardens in particular around the base of deciduous trees or shrubs. They do particularly well when planted with other Spring flowering bulbs in particular yellow daffodils. Muscari can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.


• If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.

Light Required Full sun to Partial shade

Watering Moderate watering

Best Growing Conditions Plant these grape hyacinth bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun to partial shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.
