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. 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. This striking blend has bell shaped flowers that are a purplish blue color. At times the flowers can even appear to be black. This variety can also be forced in pots. Van Zyverden fragrant perennial USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 2 lbs
