Grape Hyacinth
( Muscari)
The grape hyacinth, sometimes called
Muscari, is a distinct variety of the
orientalis plant. You'll recognize the
grape hyacinth by the tight, clustered
grape-shaped blooms in a gorgeous
cobalt. Once in place, they spread
quickly to create a carpet of blue.
Muscari makes an outstanding border
or container plant. They require
minimal maintenance and adapt to
most soil types.
ZONES: 4–8
CARE TIP: Plant in areas with full sun
or light shade and good drainage.
After the plant has finished flowering,
remove the circular green seed pods to
encourage regrowth.
BLOOM TIME: Early to mid-spring
