Muscari neglectum
grape hyacinth bulbs
Each blue-black flower may be diminutive in stature, but once established, these bulbs will soon form a generous drift or swathe, which will liven up the early spring garden. A gorgeous sight when allowed to naturalise through the front of the border or pathway edge, they can also be planted in wilder, more unstructured settings such as mixed meadows.
How to care for Muscari neglectum:
Plant 10cm (4in) deep in naturalistic groups in autumn. During summer when the bulbs are dormant lift and divide groups that are becoming congested.
