Description

Muscari latifolium is one of those spring bulbs that always earns its keep. It�s reliable, striking, and, once it�s in the ground, it comes back stronger each year, with no extra effort from you.

What sets this variety apart is its unique two-tone colouration. Each flower spike fades from a rich, dark violet at the base to a vibrant blue at the top, giving a layered effect. It�s subtle enough to work in any scheme but bold enough to hold its own at the front of a border or in a container.

With 50 bulbs in each pack, you�ve got everything you need to fill gaps, line borders, or create eye-catching combinations with other spring classics like dwarf daffodils or species tulips.

They thrive under deciduous shrubs where they catch the early light, and once established, they naturalise freely. That means they quietly increase and come back every spring with even more impact, without ever needing to be lifted or divided.

Pollinators love them too. These early-flowering bulbs offer a valuable food source for emerging bees and beneficial insects, which adds another layer of value to what is already a cracking plant.

Supplied as 50 bulbs, size 6/7, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Plants return year after year, so plant them somewhere that you want them to stay.

Care Information

Planting Advice for Muscari:

Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they�ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
Leave them in the ground once they die back � they�ll come back bigger and better each year.
While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
If planted in pots, be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Aftercare for Muscari:

Grape hyacinths don�t need a lot of care; they're happy with natural rainfall and don�t need any form of fertiliser.
Allow the bulb leaves to die down naturally for a bigger display the following season.
Water freely through the summer.
If planted in pots be sure to water frequently and keep moist.

Pruning your Muscari:

Cut off the old flower spikes as soon as the bloom period is over (unless you require the seeds).
