Notes
'Blue Magic' grape hyacinth (Muscari aucheri 'Blue Magic') is a bulb for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its fragrant violet-blue flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. J. & J. van den Berg Boltha bred it.
Pairs well with Queensland tulip, White Splendour Greek thimbleweed, and Blue Festival common hyacinth.
