Part ShadeMuscari ‘Pink Surprise’ is a charming grape hyacinth with soft pink flower spikes and a sweet, subtle fragrance. Each spring it produces petite blooms on short stems, making it ideal for edging, pots, rock gardens, and planting in drifts where the colour can be enjoyed up close.
A hardy, easy-care spring-flowering bulb, it’s happy in most garden conditions and will return year after year. Once established, muscari can be left undisturbed and will gradually multiply to form thicker clumps over time.

Planting guide
Plant 3 to 5 cm deep and 4 to 5 cm apart in well-worked, well-drained soil. For the best display, plant in bold groups or along borders for a soft, pink spring carpet.
Muscari, or Grape hyacinths as they’re often referred to, make outstanding border plants, and are fantastic for Naturalising.
We recommend to always plant plenty of bulbs (at least 25) in a group to obtain the best visual effect. A spot under deciduous shrubs is another place where grape hyacinths will be attractive.
After all, the flowering period for grape hyacinths comes at a time when the shrubs are still bare.
Using grape hyacinths as bedding plants is not done so often anymore, although they are obviously perfect for fulfilling this role. For such a massive color effect, they have to be planted closely together. Bedding arrangements using combinations of late-flowering yellow daffodils and red tulips, for example, are very pretty.
Muscari are also perfect for planting in containers. All kinds of combinations are imaginable, but one of our favourite combinations is the use of miniature daffodils and low-flowering tulips.
