Notes
'Baby's Breath' grape hyacinth (Muscari 'Baby's Breath') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. Over time the bulbs form drifts.
Pairs well with Lady Jane lady tulip, Greek thimbleweed, and Fur Elise tulip.
