Muscari comosum
tassel hyacinth bulbs
Slender, strap-shaped foliage forms the backdrop for the tufted spikes of violet-purple flowers, which appear in early spring. This decorative bulbous perennial is ideal for planting in generous swathes through the front of the border, but it will also offer early colour when teamed with ornamental grasses - or when grown in a gravel or alpine garden.
How to care for Muscari comosum:
Plant 10cm (4in) deep in naturalistic groups in autumn. During summer when the bulbs are dormant lift and divide groups that are becoming congested.
