Description
Go glitzy with Muscari comosum, also known as 'Tassel Grape Hyacinth'! If you like plants with extra panache then this unusual tufty treasure might be right up your street. Amazing indigo buds open into a grape-like cluster of blooms which is topped off with a fetching violet tassel. Blooming later than ordinary Muscaris, you can enjoy watching these fabulous flowers unfurl from late spring - the perfect extension for a spring planting scheme, carrying the colour flow seamlessly into summer.
Thriving in partial shade, this flamboyant purple Muscari comosum is perfect for bringing sparkle to those dull corners under trees or around shrubs. And, growing to a height of up to 50cm, it’s not modest either. Plant them in groups for a bold effect or dot them around for a natural look.
