Broad-leaved grape hyacinth (Muscari latifolium) – 50 flower bulbs (size 5/6)

Broad-leaved grape hyacinth (Muscari latifolium) blooms in blue from April through May. With 50 bulbs in this package, you can fill a group of approximately 40 × 40 cm. Grape hyacinths form small, grape-like clusters and easily naturalize into a blue carpet. They look beautiful in border edges, under tulips, in rock gardens, and in pots. Bulb size 5/6 indicates how many centimeters the circumference of the bulbs measures; a larger bulb contains more reserves for blooming.
