Broad-leaved grape hyacinth (Muscari latifolium) – 200 flower bulbs (size 5/6)

These 200 Broad-leaved Grape Hyacinth (Muscari latifolium) flower bulbs will add blue colour to your garden or patio from April through May. Grape hyacinths form small, grape-like clusters and spread easily to create a blue carpet. They look beautiful edging borders, planted under tulips, in rock gardens and in pots. Bulb size 5/6 indicates the circumference of the bulbs in centimetres; a larger bulb contains more energy reserves for flowering.
