New and much sought, after the sweetly scented Muscari armeniacum Peppermint has created much interest. Pale-mid blue, urn-shaped flowers fade to white at the tips, densely pack wiry stems above grass-like foliage every spring. The blooms turn white at the tip of each spike. Excellent for cutting, Peppermint makes wonderful flower displays when arranged in small bottles or vases, lasting up to a week. A classic flower of spring, the name Muscari refers to the delicate scent and comes from the Greek word for musk although Peppermint is much sweeter. The clusters of blooms look rather like a bunch of grapes, hence the common name, Grape Hyacinth. Muscari armeniacum originate from the eastern Mediterranean, where they grow wild in the woods and meadows. Naturalising well, deer and rabbit tend to leave them alone. Muscari armeniacum Peppermint thrives in well-drained soil in sun or part shade. Plant in swathes for an incredible display. Reaching a height of approximately 15-20cm, Peppermint is a fully hardy bulb which if left undisturbed will naturalise to give you years of joy.
