Description
Drifts of grape hyacinths (muscari) planted on their own or as a background for other blooms may be something you’ve seen before, but Muscari 'Baby's Breath®' is sure to make you pause for a second look. Unlike is well-known, bright-blue cousins, Baby Breath is a very pale, baby-blue that’s as soft as a spring morning. And, while human babies need tons of care and attention, these babies are low maintenance beauties that quietly get on with the business of blooming!
If you’re looking for soft blue, romantic shades, Muscari 'Baby's Breath®' fits the bill. Be sure to make them a feature of your spring garden’s floral design.
