  • Experience the allure of our early spring collection of dainty blue and white muscari, reminiscent of fine Spode porcelain. Indulge in the enchanting beauty of these delicate flowers, announcing the arrival of spring. Each species in this meticulously curated selection showcases variations in colour as the flowers mature transforming your garden into a late winter wonderland, brimming with resilient and elegant blooms.


    In each collection you will receive the following:

    • 15 × Muscari aucheri 'White Magic': From amongst the basal rosette of rich green foliage, pretty green-budded flowerspikes emerge in mid-spring, opening from the base to scented small white flowers. Less vigorous than M. armeniacum, it makes a lovely addition to the alpine garden or rockery, and looks great in a pot filled with mixed seasonal colour. Grows to 15cm.

    • 15 × Muscari armeniacum 'Peppermint': Small ice blue flowers, each with a fine white lip, form in conical spikes that rise above the slender foliage in mid-spring. It looks wonderful when allowed to form generous swathes, particularly in a woodland or meadow-style setting, and it also looks very sweet in patio pots, windowboxes and alpine beds. Grows to 20cm.

    • 50 × Muscari armeniacum: Charming, cone-shaped spikes of tiny, mid-blue flowers appear in April and May above the grass-like, mid-green leaves. Grape hyacinths look gorgeous peeping out of a large container, planted with yellow spring-flowering pansies. Quickly forming small colonies, they're also valuable for naturalising at the front of a sunny mixed or shrub border. Grows to 15cm.


  • Garden care: Plant 10cm (4in) deep in naturalistic groups in autumn. During summer when the bulbs are dormant lift and divide groups that are becoming congested.
    • Humans/Pets: Ornamental bulbs - not to be eaten
