Musk Hyacinth

The creamy white buds mature gently to lavender blue. They flowers have a strong, sweet perfume, and for this reason it is commonly known as the Musk Hyacinth ... when you smell it you will know why.
Musk Hyacinth is endemic to Turkey, and it was first noted as early as 1554 by Clusius (the famous forefather of tulips). In its homeland, pressed flowers were commonly used in lovers notes.
Grape Hyacinths or Muscari are great for rockeries, pots, nooks and crannies, along pathways, drifts, grass plantings or at the front of beds. The flowers open late winter to early spring and look brilliant with Miniature Daffodils. The grass like foliage emerges late autumn to winter.

Planting Grape Hyacinth ‘Ambrosiacum’ into well drained soil, humus rich is ideal, but they will cope in poor soils with good drainage. Water them in, natural rainfall should take care of the rest, you will only need to water them they dry out during growth.

Grape Hyacinth ‘Ambrosiacum’ bulbs are best left to naturalise where they will multiply to form nice clumps. Add some general purpose fertiliser or blood and bone as the flowers are forming and again as they are fading to ensure good growth in the coming year.
