'Grapevine'
mixed grape hyacinths
Create a cushy blanket of blue and white blooms in beds, borders or containers with our ‘Grapevine’ Muscari collection – a perfect mix of classic blue and white! Plant this lovely mix and you get a cool blast of colour and ready-made contrast to really catch the eye. Thriving in most conditions, scattered groups of these mixed muscari look absolutely fantastic all around the garden, providing reliable colour which gradually naturalises to provide a bigger and better display which returns year after year.
Quick to establish and ever-so reliable, Muscari are loved for their simplicity and low-maintenance charm. They’re versatile too, sitting perfectly well within a cottage-style garden or in huge drifts running through borders, but equally as useful for a modern or urban garden where space may be limited or conditions can be tricky.
Muscari collection 'Grapevine' includes:
- 25 Muscari armeniacum
- 20 Muscari 'White Magic'

Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
