This delightful Muscari was discovered in the wild in the North Caucasus region in the late 1960's. Its species is possibly a hybrid of M. neglectum x M. pallens (sometimes noted as M. armeniacum), but this is not certain. Nonetheless, this unique Grape Hyacinth's flowers rise above 6- to 8-inch blue-green grassy foliage in a cone of sapphire-blue bells scalloped in white after opening. Once mature, the white blushes faint pink, making the darker petals and center stand out even more boldly. The flowers are lightly scented and remain lovely for quite a long time.
Excellent when used in a rock garden or border in sun to light shade and naturalizes quickly to form a flowing drift of blue. Deer resistant and drought tolerant. Plant bulbs two inches apart for fullest display. Zones 3-9.
