Grape Hyacinth - Valerie Finnis

The Grape Hyacinth 'Valerie Finnis', 'Muscari armeniacum', a fall planted bulb, produce unassuming flowers that add a sweet, fragrant touch to the spring garden. This plant is named for a notable British gardener, Valerie Finnis, and it is a lightly scented, powder-blue variety that is highly vigorous. The densely clustered flower heads sport multitudes of bell-shaped blooms. The flowers remain beautiful for a long time, and they are very attractive to bees. Grape Hyacinths are a hardy, no-care, mid spring flowering bulb. They are excellent as cut flowers, for rock gardens, beds, borders, and under trees and bushes. Muscari often multiply and spread over the years. Try planting a large drift of Muscari armeniacum in your garden for a flowing effect. ... more information
