Description

Muscari 'Baby's Breath' brings a softer touch to spring bulb planting. This award-winning grape hyacinth produces closely packed flower spikes with a gentle, airy look, making it a lovely alternative to the stronger-toned muscari varieties often seen in spring gardens.

Fully hardy and easy to grow, plant it at the front of borders, along path edges, in rockeries, patio containers, window boxes or beneath taller spring bulbs. It pairs especially well with tulips and narcissi, helping create a layered display that feels full, natural and beautifully finished.

The foliage starts into growth in autumn, reaches around 15cm by spring, then flops naturally as the season progresses. This makes it a useful choice for informal planting schemes, where relaxed spring growth adds to the charm rather than needing constant attention.

Grow in full sun or partial shade, in well-drained soil or compost. Plant in drifts for the strongest effect and enjoy reliable spring colour from a low-maintenance, award-winning bulb.

Supplied as 30 size 7/8 bulbs, ready to plant in autumn.

Top Tips
Muscari return year after year, so plant them where 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 Advice for Muscari:

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