Fall Bulbs - Grape Hyacinth
The Grape Hyacinth 'Feather', 'Muscari armeniacum', a fall planted bulb, produce unassuming flowers that add a sweet, fragrant touch to the spring garden. This is a very peculiar cultivar originating from the species found around the Mediterranean Sea. What we see when this plant 'blooms' is not really the flowers (they develop later, in May-June) but the highly branched, purple flower stems. They are excellent as cut flowers, for rock gardens, beds, borders, and under trees and bushes. Muscari often multiply and spread over the years.
