Muscari aucheri 'Ocean Magic' | Ocean Magic Grape Hyacinth

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Muscari aucheri ‘Ocean Magic’ produces compact flower spikes filled with tightly clustered, urn-shaped blooms that open blue and gradually soften to pale sky blue toward the tips. Blooming in early to mid spring, the color transition creates a layered effect within each spike. Narrow, grasslike green leaves emerge early in the season, forming a tidy base that supports the upright flowers.

Derived from species native to Turkey, this cultivar was developed through modern bulb breeding focused on color variation and uniform performance. ‘Ocean Magic’ works well in borders, containers, rock gardens, and naturalized drifts, where repeated plantings enhance its shifting hues. It also pairs easily with early bulbs, providing reliable seasonal interest as spring unfolds.
