Features of Species or Group: |
| |
Native to Turkey, widely distributed, from the Balkans
to the Caucasus. This species has delicate, pyramid-
shaped little flowers. The openings of the flowers are
small. The armeniacum is the most famous grape
hyacinth and has true blue flowers which are trimmed
with a delicate white border. |
Features of Genus: |
| |
Vigorous and easy to grow, grape hyacinths have blue
flowers of varying intensity. There are several
species and named varieties available, including
doubles. The genus got its name from Muscari
moschatum. Women in Turkey used to wear this grape
hyacinth in their hair as a sign that they were
marrying. Grape hyacinths are a great foil for other
bright spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips or
Ranunculus. This plant has the most impact when
planted in drifts. In large gardens, it can easily be
naturalized in grass or under deciduous trees. |

How to Plant Muscari Bulbs? |

To plant Muscari Bulbs the bulbs should be planted with the nose of the bulb upward (or the roots facing downwards) and the Blue Grape Hyacinth - Armeniacum Muscari should be planted roughly 3-4" deep and 2-3" apart from one another.
Note: For some bulbs you may not be able to tell which way is up or down, in these cases just plant them on their side and they will adjust on their own.
