Particularly beautiful, Muscari ‘Baby’s Breath’ is a distinctive grape hyacinth with clusters of pale, icy blue flowers that open from lime-green buds. Vigorous and delightfully scented, it is perfect for borders, containers or at home in a vase.

  • Recipient of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Blooming for several weeks in mid-late spring, this beauty looks amazing when mixed with any other flowering bulbs.
  • Rising up to 6-8 inches tall (15-20 cm), this Grape Hyacinth will naturalize well and come back year after year.
  • Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun or part shade. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, but reduce watering after foliage begins to die back.
  • This Grape Hyacinth is a welcomed addition to beds, borders, containers, rock gardens, around shrubs or under deciduous trees. Provides spectacular drifts of color when planted en masse. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 25 bulbs).
  • Deer and rabbit resistant!
