Description

The listing, Grape Hyacinth - Muscari armeniacum x 10+ bulbs from my yard has ended.

These bulbs are in my yard under my Maple tree and in the front flower bed right now and spreading rapidly. I would like to share them with other Listians.

If you're looking for a hardy, no-care, plant to forget, look no further. Load up on Muscari. These small bulbs are so winter hardy and easy to grow, No garden should be without them,

The best known species of Muscari or Grape hyacinth are so named because their clusters of small, bell shaped cobalt-blue flowers look like clusters of upside down grapes.

Grape Hyacinth has a lovely fragrance. The more you plant, the more fragrance you will get.

They will naturalize and spread extremely easy.

Grape Hyacinth are all-round flowers. They are excellent as cut flowers, in rock gardens, beds, borders, under shrubs and trees and can be used for indoor forcing.

Bulbs should be planted at least 3" deep and in a location where water cannot settle in winter . They should be planted in full sun to shade at least 3-4" deep.

Plant bulbs in a well drained medium. Water it and then let it sit dry all summer. You should get good germination in the winter. Some growers prefer to sow them in the fall and water continuously until winter rainfall takes over.

ok. You are not far from me. These are about to bloom again in my yard. They are the first thing to bloom in the late winter / early spring and the last thing to bloom in late fall/early winter. They will bloom, keep their "grassy" fokiage, and then bloom again. They should do the same thing for you. If you plant them outside in full shade to partly sunny area, they may just bloom for you til almost Christmas. Really, these are very hardy and will probably grow and spread rapidly anywhere except in full sun. I don't know if they will grow inside. You can try and if they don't, plant the bulbs outside somewhere that is not muddy. They don't like too much water. If you win, let me know what you decide to do.
