Muscari 'Blue Spike' (grape hyacinth 'Blue Spike)
Delivery begins from 14 September 2026
Spring flowering bulbs and plants are scheduled to begin delivery from 14 September 2026.
Muscari armeniacum 'Blue Spike' is a particularly refined grape hyacinth, admired for its densely packed, double flower spikes in rich blue, each neatly finished with the lightest white tipping. Lightly scented and quietly dependable, it settles in well as a perennial and looks superb naturalised through grass, beneath deciduous trees, or tucked into spring containers for close-up detail.
Neat, clump-forming and elegantly proportioned, it reaches around 20cm in flower—ideal for the front of borders and for weaving between later-emerging perennials. Plant in autumn and look forward to a poised, jewel-like display from early spring.
