MUSCARI SEEDS

The Muscari genus, commonly known as Grape Hyacinth, is a charming and hardy member of the Asparagaceae family. These bulbous perennials are celebrated for their tightly packed clusters of small, bell-shaped flowers in shades of blue, purple, white, and occasionally pink, which bloom in early to mid-spring. Muscari adds a delightful touch of colour to borders, rock gardens, and containers.

Native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia, Muscari thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These low-maintenance plants are perfect for naturalising in lawns, woodland edges, or along pathways, creating cheerful drifts of colour. Popular species such as Muscari armeniacum and Muscari botryoides are particularly admired for their vibrant blooms and ability to attract early pollinators.

The Muscari genus combines beauty, resilience, and seasonal interest, making it a favourite for gardeners seeking easy-to-grow plants that bring a burst of springtime charm.

The "Tassel Hyacinths", at 40cm, with their cluster of brilliant violet sterile flowers held above the creamy-brown fertile flowers, are one of the tallest varieties, and are almost as tall as kniphofias.

  6. MUSCARI LATIFOLIUM

    From clumps of thin fleshy leaves arise bell-shaped crowns of purplish blue, sometimes almost black, flowers. The flower heads appear two-toned due to paler crowns, which are the sterile flowers. Grape hyacinth is good for naturalizing in gardens or lawns, for forcing or growing in container displays, and for rock gardens and although it will produce seedlings, it does so in a restrained manner, never exceeding its welcome. ...
