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.

The colour is a flawless, immaculate snow-white, with a subtle hint of apple-green deep in the throat that only enhances its purity.

'Nymph' is the essence of winter elegance, offering a display of opulent, cloud-like flowers that bring a sense of peace, luxury, and timeless style to any indoor setting. It is a benchmark for white double Amaryllis and a must-have for anyone wanting an effortlessly glamorous and sophisticated floral display.
