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.
