One trayfull of blue Muscari bulbs. THere is 18 plus big ones and myriads of little ones. These bulbs can be planted now for an early spring show of blue.
Grass like leaves and blue flowers that look like clusters of upright grapes, blue purple in colour.
Make a colourful show in the Spring and multiply.

Do very well in pots, along garden borders, in clumps.
Six or more in a vase with some of their leaves look lovely inside the house after the long grey winter.
They die down below ground in the Summer.
Climatised to Wairarapa conditions.

$8.50 for this trayful.

Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni

Price: $8.50
