This intensely deep blue grape hyacinth, Muscari 'Dark Eyes', is perfect for creating breathtaking rivers of colour that meander through your garden. Whether planted in borders, beneath trees, or spilling through pathways, the effect is nothing short of unforgettable — a true celebration of spring in full bloom.

For an eye-catching display that captures the very essence of the season, try pairing your Muscari with bright yellow Narcissi. The bold contrast between the rich blue and cheerful yellow is a match made in gardening heaven — a striking and joyful combination that lifts the spirits and brings instant cheer.

Together, these two spring favourites paint your garden with nature’s palette, wrapping up the joys of the season in just two radiant colours. Whether you plant them in drifts or scatter them in pots and containers, this duo is guaranteed to turn heads and warm hearts.

How to plant Muscari

Find a location with well-drained soil
Muscari are shade lovers and grow well in full or partially-shaded areas.
If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs 6-8cm (2-3") below the soil surface and 6-8cm (2-3") apart.
We advise planting them in groupings of 10 or more bulbs.
If planting in Pots, find a container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
After planting, water the bulbs well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
Muscari will flower in March.
