Grape Hyacinth
Muscari Armeniacum
Overview
Grape Hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum) is a perennial bulb renowned for its conical clusters of small, urn-shaped deep blue flowers resembling tiny grapes, emerging mid-spring. The plant reaches 6-9 inches in height and thrives in USDA zones 4-8, preferring full sun to partial shade. With narrow, basal, green leaves, it naturalizes readily, adding a striking blue hue to borders and rock gardens. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and is deer-resistant.
