Muscari, also commonly known as Grape Hyacinths, are spring flowering bulbs that should be planted in the fall. Each produces a cluster of narrow strap-shaped, basal leaves, usually appearing just before the flowers. Leafless flower stems bear dense spikes of small flowers. These dainty, grape-like clusters of color make a dramatic underplanting for taller bulbs of nearly any color. Planted en masse, in broad informal sweeps, they create an unforgettable show. Muscari colonize and naturalize readily, are self-seeding under ideal conditions and thrive for many years to come with little care or maintenance. When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for tiny, perfect vase bouquets. Muscari Dark Eyes produces beautiful dark blue florets with white edges on slender stems.
