VAN ZYVERDEN Grape Hyacinths Bulbs Multi Colored Latifolum (Set of 25)

Muscari, also commonly known as Grape Hyacinths, are spring flowering bulbs that should be planted in the fall. Each produces a cluster of narrowly strap-shaped, basal leaves, usually appearing just before the flowers. Leafless flower stems bear dense spikes of small flowers. These dainty, grape-like clusters of color make a dramatic under planting for taller bulbs of nearly any color. Planted en mass, in broad informal sweeps, they create an unforgettable show. Muscari colonize and naturalize readily, are self-seeding under ideal conditions. and thrive for many years to come with little care or maintenance. When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for tiny, perfect vase bouquets, as this will not hurt your plants. Latifolum is the largest of the Muscaris. Striking two-tone bell shaped flowers colored purplish blue, sometimes nearly black. Good, early color and easy to grow. This variety can also be forced in pots. To ensure optimal results, allow adequate space, sunlight, plant at the appropriate depth, feed with a well balanced fertilizer, allowing the leaves to yellow/brown before removing. For an informal look, plant in groups in natural swathes. Plant in well draining soil. After planting, water well to settle the bulbs.
