Notes
'Ocean Magic' grape hyacinth (Muscari aucheri 'Ocean 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. Violet-blue, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. The plants stay about 5 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
