Description
This is referred to as the Oxford and Cambridge grape hyacinth, with two colours in one flower spike. This gives it a greater depth and richness than the others in the muscari clan. It’s easy to grow, super perennial and naturalises well.
Care Tips
Can take over a bit if given room so pots are the perfect way to contain them. Remove spent foliage. Lift and divide clumps in the summer months to avoid congestion.
