Muscari
Commonly known as Blue Grape Hyacinths for their form and sweet, grapey fragrance, deer- and rodent-resistant Muscari naturalize well with a succession of composite flowering stems.

Bloom time: variable, April through May depending on the variety. Plant 5" deep and 3" to 4" apart. Horticultural zones 4-8.
