Description
Muscari armeniacum 'Aqua Magic' is a hybrid cultivar from the Dutch Magic series that has provided beautiful and sturdy varieties in recent years. This one offers spikes of flowers that are initially green, which open into small urns with soft shades of pale blue to sky blue. The leaves are narrow and green. The nectar-rich flowering accompanies the beginning of spring in March. This small bulb rests in the summer, indifferent to the heat.
Derived from Muscari armeniacum, 'Aqua Magic' is a hybrid introduced in 2016 belonging to the asparagus family. This small bulb produces a basal rosette of long, very narrow, medium-green leaves, shaped like gutters. Each rosette emits 3 to 5 floral stems on a mature and well-developed bulb. The tall 15 to 20 cm high floral stems bear 20 to 40 small urn-shaped flowers. The inflorescence is a cluster of flowers, 2 to 6 cm long and about 1.5 cm wide, exhaling a heavy and heady fragrance. The urn-shaped flowers are small, measuring only 5 to 6 mm long. They are tightly packed together, forming a narrow and dense cone. The a very pale green buds, open into light blue bells. This bulb naturalises slowly but surely in light soil.
Muscari is a small, undemanding plant, but one that should not be overlooked because of its delightful range of soft or vibrant colours. 'Aqua Magic' falls on the side of soft blooms with its shades of light blue. Its great resistance to cold, drought, and shade allows it to be used in many situations: in woodlands, at the base of trees, as a border to highlight the design of a pathway, in a rockery in the company of heathers, for example, or in Japanese-style gardens. It also grows very well in pots, on a windowsill or balcony. It is so accommodating that it will forgive forgotten watering and thrive in neglected or weekend gardens. Its flowers are very beautiful alongside the trumpets of daffodils, forget-me-nots, the fragrant clusters of early blue hyacinths (Blue Pearl, Delft Blue), or the pink and white cups of triumph tulips. You can also plant it mixed with other varieties from the Magic series. Plant some muscaris en masse in a lawn. They multiply rapidly in good, rich, and well-drained soil.

Planting and care
Plant your Aqua Magic muscari as soon as possible in well-drained soil. Loosen the soil deeply. Plant at a depth of 8 cm (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 8 cm apart, making sure they do not touch each other. Choose a sunny exposure for better flowering. The Muscari is undemanding on the nature of the soil and perfectly hardy in all regions, even dry in summer. Divide the bulbs every 4 years at most. If you grow it in pots, you will need to water it regularly and provide it with fertiliser at the end of flowering so that the bulb replenishes its reserves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
