Muscari 'Fantasy Creation' Bulbs – Double-Flowered Grape Hyacinth, Fall Planting

Muscari 'Fantasy Creation' is one of the most extraordinary and sought-after Grape Hyacinth varieties — a sport of 'Blue Spike' with spectacular double flowers arranged in large, pyramidal racemes that resemble broccoli heads at their peak. What makes this variety truly exceptional is its remarkable color progression: blooms open in a rich blue, gradually shift to purple, then to green, and finally fade toward yellow — all on the same spike at once, creating a stunning, multi-toned display that lasts far longer than single-flowered varieties. Deer and rodent resistant, excellent for naturalizing, and a nectar magnet for early pollinators.

Planting & Care

Plant bulbs pointed tip up in well-drained soil in fall, burying approximately 4 inches deep. Choose a sunny to semi-shaded location that stays fairly dry in winter. Water well after planting. Allow foliage to die back naturally after bloom to nourish the bulb for next season. Increases by division only — perfect for controlled, naturalized plantings in beds, borders, and containers.
