Muscari armeniacum | Grape Hyacinth

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Muscari armeniacum produces compact spikes of tightly packed, urn-shaped flowers in deep cobalt blue, often accented by a lighter rim at each floret opening. Blooming in mid to late spring, the blossoms emerge above narrow, grasslike green leaves that appear in early season and create a soft, upright backdrop. The flower clusters develop from the base upward, extending the display as spring progresses.

Native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, this species has been cultivated in gardens for centuries. It works well in borders, rock gardens, containers, and naturalized plantings, where dense drifts create strong seasonal rhythm. Muscari armeniacum is especially effective beneath deciduous trees and along pathways, offering dependable spring color.
