Muscari (grape hyacinths)

While they like sun, Grape Hyacinths thrive in almost any kind of open situation and in any kind of soil. Lifting and replanting in the autumn is necessary only if plantings become too crowded but usually they can be left alone for many years. An edge of Muscari lends a finishing touch to a border of mid-season Tulips and they make a fine spring association with white and yellow Daffodils. Don’t be alarmed when your Muscari form clumps of foliage in the autumn. Plant 8cm deep, 10cm apart.
