Muscari (Grape Hyacinths)

Grape Hyacinth Bulbs

Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) have delicate spires of clustered flowers and are among the easiest of bulbs to grow.  They are typically blue, but also come in bi-colors and white.  Grow Muscari in masses for splashes of color.  They are extremely good naturalizers and can be forced for indoor flowering.  Plant under Tulips and Daffodils for a spectacular show in the spring.
