Two-tone Muscari latifolium add an extraordinary pop of blue to your garden in March and April.A stunning azure-blue head sits atop a cluster of navy blooms, giving this unusual hybrid of grape hyacinth its common name, the Oxford and Cambridge grape hyacinth. The tiny oval flowers are tightly packed on stems up to 20cm tall, their shape resembling an upside-down bunch of miniature grapes, hence the name. Grape hyacinths are a treat to have growing in any garden and are adored by bees, who are attracted by their beautiful perfume.Tiny bottles of these delicate blooms make pretty displays in the home lasting up to a week. Pull rather than cut the stems to get the maximum length.Plant your bulbs in autumn, 10cm deep in moist, well-drained soil in part shade. Striking when planted to naturalise in drifts, or with other spring flowers in your borders and pots such as narcissi and tulips.
