Muscari latifolium is a classic early spring grape hyacinth with spikes of purple-black flowers topped with royal blue flowers. Deer and rodent resistant, they have an extended bloom time and naturalize readily, forming impressive, fragrant drifts.

This adorable grape hyacinth appears to be wearing a hat of lighter colored puffs, going this way and that. If we could all look this good in hats . . . sigh.

These grape hyacinth bloom somewhat later than other varieties. First comes a tulip-like leaf in early spring, followed by flowers in mid spring. They are long lasting, giving months of color and interest---much longer than many other bulbs. Large 7+ cm round bulbs
