Muscari White Magic,'Grape Hyacinth, fall bulbs

Great for Garden beds, borders and rockeries

Even traditionalists who adore the blue of standard grape hyacinths won’t grumble when they see the entrancing carpet of white blooms you’ll get from Muscari aucheri 'White Magic', a 2008 introduction that has won its justified place as a firm favourite.

A magical setting for other spring flowers, they’re also magnificent when planted in snowy drifts all by themselves. They make excellent container plants when grouped closely together, and of course, they’re the perfect foil for your blue grape hyacinths too. Like other grape hyacinths, Muscari aucheri 'White Magic' looks delicate, but isn’t in the least bit fussy, often settling in as a perennial.

Bulb size: 8-10 cm 

Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) are easy to grow in well-drained soil. If left undisturbed, the blue-flowered varieties multiply rapidly. Bulbs often send up grasslike leaves in fall. This growth is normal and should not be cut or mowed off until browned by frost. Great for forcing. It is not unusual during storage for blue-green penicillin mold to grow on the surface of Muscari bulbs. The mold does no harm, and it dies as soon as you plant the bulb. If the bulb is firm, you can plant with confidence. Space them 2–3″ apart and 2–3″ deep.
