Grape Hyacinth

A particularly striking and beautiful variety, 'Night Eyes' is a Grape Hyacinth that offers a dramatic and intense colour contrast. Each flower spike is composed of densely packed, deep cobalt-blue florets. What makes this variety so special is that each individual bell is neatly and distinctly rimmed with a crisp white edge, making them look like a cluster of tiny, watchful eyes. This RHS Award-winning cultivar is a selection of Muscari armeniacum and is very easy to grow. It is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of jewel-like detail to the spring garden and is perfect for containers where its unique beauty can be admired up close.

A breakthrough in Muscari breeding, 'Pink Sunrise' is one of the first varieties to display a true, clear pink colour. The conical flower spikes are a beautiful shade of soft, blush-pink to candy-pink, fading to almost white at the very top of the spike. This creates a lovely, gentle, two-tone effect. It is a more compact variety with a delicate appearance and a light, sweet fragrance. 'Pink Sunrise' is a fantastic choice for gardeners looking for something different from the traditional blue, perfect for creating soft, romantic, pastel-themed displays in pots, rockeries, and at the front of borders. It is a real connoisseur's choice.

This is a very distinct and elegant species of Grape Hyacinth that has received the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its unique beauty and reliable performance. Unlike other Muscari that produce multiple grass-like leaves, Muscari latifolium typically produces only a single, broad, grey-green leaf that wraps around the base of the flower stem, almost like a tulip leaf. From the centre, a stem rises carrying a striking, two-tone flower spike. The lower, fertile florets are a deep blackish-violet and are topped by a contrasting tuft of sterile, much paler, sky-blue florets. This elegant bicolour effect is more subtle and refined than that of 'Grape Ice' and gives the plant a sophisticated presence in the garden. It is less likely to spread as aggressively as M. armeniacum, making it a well-behaved choice for tidy borders, rock gardens, and containers where its unique form can be showcased. It provides a longer flowering period than many other types.

A truly enchanting variety, 'White Magic' brings a touch of pure, bright elegance to the spring garden. This beautiful Grape Hyacinth undergoes a lovely colour transformation; the flower spikes emerge with greenish-yellow buds, which then open into densely packed spires of pristine, snow-white, bell-shaped florets. The pure white colour is very clear and provides a wonderful, cool contrast to more brightly coloured spring bulbs. 'White Magic' is a vigorous grower with a neat habit and a gentle fragrance. It is an excellent choice for creating a serene, sophisticated look and for brightening up shady corners of the garden.

A highly sought-after and fashionable variety, 'Grape Ice' is a striking twist on the classic grape hyacinth. It features densely packed, conical flower spikes with a unique bicolour pattern that commands attention. The base of the flower head consists of rich, deep violet-purple florets, each shaped like a tiny bead, creating a familiar grape-like cluster. What sets it apart is the distinct cap of sterile, icy-white to pale silvery-green florets at the very top, which creates a stunning contrast, much like a snow-capped mountain peak. This ornamental 'mohawk' gives the plant a sharp, contemporary look. It is a vigorous grower and naturalizer, perfect for creating beautiful drifts of colour in borders, rock gardens, and especially in containers where its unique details can be appreciated up close. Its relatively short stature makes it an ideal companion for early daffodils and tulips, weaving a carpet of cool-toned colour at their feet. It's a must-have for any gardener looking for something a little different.

A wonderfully weird and fascinating plant, 'Plumosum' is the sterile, feathered form of Muscari comosum, the Tassel Hyacinth. It doesn't produce the typical bell-shaped flowers of a Muscari. Instead, the entire flower head is a fluffy, airy plume composed of thread-like, tangled, purple-violet filaments. The effect is truly bizarre and beautiful, like a soft purple cloud or a piece of violet candyfloss floating in the border. It blooms later than most other Muscari, extending the season. It is a fantastic choice for gardeners who appreciate botanical curiosities and want to add a unique texture and form to their late spring display.

An exceptionally delicate and ethereal Grape Hyacinth, 'Valerie Finnis' is prized for its very pale colouring. The conical flower spikes are a beautiful shade of icy, sky-blue, so pale that they appear almost white from a distance, with the tiny bells at the top of the spike often being pure white. This creates a subtle, two-tone effect that is wonderfully soft and gentle. It has a light fragrance and is perfect for creating a serene, cool-toned spring display. It contrasts beautifully with darker blue Muscari or brightly coloured tulips and daffodils. It's an excellent choice for naturalising, forming a shimmering, low-growing carpet of colour in mid-spring.

A truly stunning tricolour masterpiece, Muscari armeniacum 'Nature's Beauty' showcases a breathtakingly beautiful gradient of colour within every single flower spike, creating a sophisticated, multi-toned effect from just one bulb. Each bloom begins with a rich, deep cobalt blue at its base, which seamlessly transitions into a paler, sky-blue shade in the middle, and finally culminates in a fluffy, pure white cap. This remarkable medley of shades gives the impression of a meticulously curated designer mix, providing incredible depth and visual interest. It is a robust and fragrant variety that is perfect for creating a dramatic and elegant statement in borders, containers, or window boxes. The complex colouring pairs exquisitely with both pure white daffodils and deep purple tulips, allowing it to bridge different colour palettes with ease. Its strong stems and long-lasting nature also make it a superb cut flower for delicate spring arrangements, bringing its unique beauty indoors. It is a real showstopper.
