Grape Hyacinth

Grape Hyacinth  (Muscari)

We all know Grape Hyacinth (Muscari). It is a bulbous plant which, once established, faithfully returns every spring. In a good location, Grape Hyacinth sometimes expands en masse by means of seed and young bulbs. Grape Hyacinth prefers sun to partial shade, on a normal soil. Grape Hyacinth can be nicely combined with other spring bloomers such as Tulip (Tulipa) and Daffodil (Narcissus). Grape Hyacinth also does well when planted between ground covers such as Barren Strawberry (Waldsteinia) and Lesser Periwinkle (Vinca minor).
