Muscari

Essential garden bulbs, bringing colour and scent into the spring garden and providing an early source of nectar for bees, which adore them. Easy-going, they will mostly thrive in any well-drained soil in sun or partial shade, with the exception of m.comosum & m.macrocarpum which require a sun-baked spot.

Muscari have gained something of a bad reputation for being prolific self-seeders, especially as they often appear in unwanted places. This is on account of just two of the many species in cultivation being badly behaved. As far as the varieties we offer are concerned, we can only say 'you should be so lucky!'. If in doubt, and to conserve the bulbs' energy for re-flowering in the future, the simple answer is to deadhead as the flowers go over.
