Muscari, Grape Hyacinth One of the prettiest of early spring flowering bulbs, growing about 6 inches high and throwing up nu- merous spikes of clear blue or white flowers, which resemble a miniature inverted bunch of grapes. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves, and for this reason they are largely used for naturalizing, especially amongst the grass and in woods or other shady places; while in clumps or lines in the garden they are very effective. 8 to 12 bulbs in a 6-inch pan make a pretty plant for window decoration, blooming about Easter.
