Muscari from FAM Flower Farm

How beautiful they are, those muscari. Muscari are also called grape hyacinths, although there are also white and pink grape hyacinths. Our favorite is the Pink Sunrise: a muscari in a unique pink color. Perfect to combine with other bulbs for a beautiful color in your garden.

The beautiful grape hyacinth

It will not surprise you why muscari are also called pink, white, or blue grape hyacinths. The flowers look just like small clusters of grapes. They are among the first bloomers in spring (March, April, and May) and make your garden look fantastic, even when the rest of nature is still hibernating. And did you know that the blue grape hyacinth is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also super easy to maintain? Ideal!

Planting muscari

Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can easily plant grape hyacinths. Place the muscari in a spot with sun or partial shade. Planting is done in 4 steps:

1. Dig a hole that is 2 to 3 times as deep as the height of the bulb.
2. Place the bulb with the tip upwards in the hole. Plant the (blue) grape hyacinths about 10 cm apart.
3. Cover the bulbs again with soil.
4. Give your newly planted muscari bulbs some water to keep the soil nicely moist.

Caring for pink, white, and blue grape hyacinths

Both white, pink, and blue grape hyacinths require the same care. And that care is not very intensive. With a few simple actions, you can keep them looking tip-top and even multiply. The most obvious is, of course, watering the muscari. You only need to water them when the soil feels dry. Too much water is not good, so be economical. You don’t want the roots to rot. Another important thing is to cut off the dead flowers. This allows the bulb’s energy to go to new growth. Want to overwinter your grape hyacinths? Then provide a layer of mulch in autumn. They can handle a hit, but this protects them against the worst frost.

Mix & match with grape hyacinths

Grape hyacinths are great to combine with other early bloomers like tulip bulbs and narcissus to create a colorful flower paradise. This way your garden is already in bloom from early spring. Want your garden to bloom all year round? Add flower seeds and dahlias to your garden. This way you also turn your garden into a cutting garden, so you can always have fresh flowers at home.
