Muscari Peppermint
M5740
Description
Compact, sweetly-scented blue flowers fade to frosty white at each spike’s tip. Low-growing but highly effective in edging, pots, or under shrubs.
Muscari Peppermint flowers in April. Plant bulbs in groups for strongest effect. Sun-loving and dependable, offering a fresh note to spring borders.
Care Guide
Very easy to grow, this is a useful and popular clump-forming plant, producing splashes of colour in the rockery or at the edges of beds and borders.
Usually blue (but not always), they are frequently planted between taller bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.
They can also be used for naturalising in woodland or planted in swathes. Plant 7cm (3”) deep, 10cm (4”) apart.
