Grape Hyacinth 'Baby's Breath'

Irresistible, soft blue flowers with a delightfully sweet, if faint perfume. The blooms open from green buds so there is a nice two tone effect in the early days of flowering. They last an age and look a dream as part of a tussie mussie.

I’ve grown these for over ten years in the garden and around five in a pot. They are tougher than they look and take my breath away each year. Muscari ‘Baby’s Breath’ holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit so you know it is garden worthy and accessible for all levels of gardeners.

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 combined with Miniature Daffodils, Crocus or Dwarf Iris.

Plant Grape Hyacinths into well drained soil, humus rich soil, they will manage in poor soils with good drainage. Water them in, then natural rainfall should take care of the rest, you will only need to water them if they dry out during active growth.

Grape Hyacinth bulbs are best left to naturalise, where they will multiply to form nice clumps. By adding some general purpose fertiliser as the flowers are forming you will ensure good growth in the following season.
