Day Thirteen - Muscari

Day Thirteen - Muscari

Otherwise known as Grape Hyacinths, they are often mistaken for Bluebells.


They originated in the Mediterranean, Central & Southern Europe, Africa & Asia. They come in varieties of pale blue to very dark blue.


When planted as bulbs they tend to multiply quickly. They prefer well drained sandy soil that is acid to neutral & not too rich. Naturally found in woodlands or meadows, they are commonly cultivated in lawns, borders, rock gardens & containers.
