This perennial gem continues to bloom in early spring like magic every season in the small grasses throughout my garden’s landscape. Grape hyacinth (Muscari) is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia, including the Mediterranean basin, central and southern Europe, northern Africa, and parts of Asia. The name “muscari” comes from the Greek word for musk, referring to its scent. These plants have been cultivated in Europe since the 14th century, with commercial cultivation beginning in the mid-1500’s. I planted these bulbs in rich well draining soil several years ago and they’ve multiplied very rapidly. Enjoy!
