Description
Muscari latifolium 'Grape Ice' has a unique, highly contrasting colour. Its spikes bear small flowers in a very dark purple at the base, a stark contrast to the frosty white found on the flowers at the top of the spike. It blooms in the heart of spring, in April-May. This small plant is perfectly hardy in all our regions and so prolific that a few bulbs planted in autumn form beautiful colourful and fragrant carpets in just a few years. It is beautiful in spring, in the middle of the short meadow or under a leafy hedge. Armenian Muscaris thrive best with shade in the afternoon.
Muscari latifolium is a bulbous plant belonging to the hyacinth family, native to the coniferous forests of the mountains in southern and western Turkey. It is often found growing at the edge of sparse pine forests, on slightly acidic soil.
The 'Grape Ice' variety is a very recent horticultural development with bicoloured and remarkably bright inflorescences, almost black and white. The floral stems are 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in) tall and bear 20 to 40 small urn-shaped flowers, tightly packed in a compact cluster. After pollination fruits form, containing numerous round, black seeds that germinate very easily. Plants grown from seeds will not always be identical to the parent plant.
Muscari is an unassuming but versatile and very useful plant in the garden or for decorating houses without gardens. Its great resistance to cold, drought, and shade allows it to be used in many situations: in the undergrowth, at the base of trees, as a border to highlight the design of a pathway, in rock gardens alongside heathers or in Japanese-style gardens. It also grows well in pots, on a windowsill or balcony. It is so forgiving that it will tolerate you forgetting to water it and thrive in neglected or weekend gardens. Its blue flowers are very beautiful alongside the yellow trumpets of daffodils or the pink and red cups of triumph tulips.

Planting and care
Plant your muscaris as soon as possible in well-drained, well-worked soil at a depth of 8 cm (3in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil). Space the bulbs 8 cm (3in) apart, making sure they do not touch in a sunny exposure for better flowering. Muscari armeniacum is undemanding of soil type and hardy in all regions. Divide the bulbs every 4 years at most. If you grow it in pots, make sure to water it regularly and feed it at the end of flowering so that the bulb can replenish 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.
