Blue, often admired for its blue, green colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to borders.

Muscari azureum ‘Blue’ is a particularly refined grape hyacinth, offering airy, light blue spires that arrive in the first true moments of spring. Neat, clump-forming and beautifully obliging, it threads a soft ribbon of colour through the front of borders, pots, rockeries and naturalistic planting beneath deciduous shrubs.

  • Flowering: March–April
  • Height: 25cm
  • Spread: 10cm
  • Position: Front of border, edging, under deciduous shrubs
  • Bulb size: 6/7
  • Pollinator friendly: Yes
  • Deer resistant: Yes

Planted in generous drifts, it reads as quietly luxurious—cool blue notes with just enough freshness to lift mixed spring schemes. Allow around two seasons to settle properly, and it will reward you with a dependable return.

Where to Plant:

Muscari 'Blue' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 8-10cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
