Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Muscari 'Blue Magic'

Grape Hyacinth

Muscari aucheri 'Blue Magic' is a compact grape hyacinth, reaching 4 to 6 inches in height. It produces dense clusters of sky-blue, bell-shaped flowers with white tips, blooming in mid-to-late spring. Like most Muscari, it exudes a sweet fragrance, intensifying when planted in large drifts.

Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Blue Magic' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. It naturalizes well, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and containers.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Muscari 'Blue Magic'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 3 to 4 inches deep and 2 to 3 inches apart, with the pointed end up. For a natural look, scatter and plant where they fall.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Ideal under deciduous trees where spring light is abundant before leaf-out.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Tolerates sandy or loamy soils.
Watering: Water after planting and during active growth in spring. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Requires a cold period to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall or early spring. Bone meal is also beneficial at planting.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally—it nourishes the bulb for next year. Remove seed pods if you want to limit self-seeding.
Propagation: Naturalizes easily by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps in summer when dormant if needed.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
