Grape Hyacinths
These grape hyacinths were a gift to my mother from her nephew Keith. I then transplanted a few into my own yard.
Grape hyacinths (Muscari) are easy care, but they do prefer full sun with good drainage; soggy locations can rot the bulbs. Plant them in three inch deep holes and as any other bulb with pointed ends facing upward. Gardening instructions suggest watering the planting area well and spreading a thin layer of mulch, but I find my own personal "dig, dump, cover and run" method works well for any bulb. I also do not fertilize them, but do thin them out and transplant every few years.
Allow the foliage to die back so that the bulb can develop properly for the next year.
