Grape Hyacinth White Magic

The glorious white florets open from soft green buds. The densely packed stems are lovely and strong amid the lush green foliage.

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 or Dwarf Iris. The grass like foliage emerges late autumn to winter.

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. Adding some general purpose fertiliser as the flowers are forming, and again as they are fading will ensure good growth in the following season.
