The Muscari neglectum Grape hyacinth is a strong strain that has won the heart of many gardeners. Its small bluish-purple flowers appear 2-3 inches above it's small fountain of grass-like foliage and bloom some time in late February or early March. The color makes a wonderful contrast with other blooming bulbs such as the Lent lily or Campernelle. Like the Hoop Petticoat and Jonquil, it can reproduce by seed, allowing it to naturalize in many settings of Southern landscapes.
This bulb works as a wonderful carpet, often speading across yards over a period of years. It also serves as a graceful border for the base of deciduous trees. These are smaller bulbs, and have a tendency to dry out, so be sure to plant them as soon as possible!
