Grape Hyacinths - potted in flower now
I have some pots of Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) in flower.
These are Spring bulbs that once establishment put on a reliable show each year.
Low growing with grasslike leaves the flowers are like tiny upright bunches of grapes, rich deep blue in colour. The blue colour against yellow daffodils is amazing, They are the first of the Spring bulbs to come into flower.
Look great in a vase and are good for picking .
Look fabulous around trees, along pathway edges, in rockeries , or anywhere in your Spring garden. They do very well in pots too.
I have pictured some growing around my silver birches. These plants have weathered the hot dry Summer and bounced back into flower so they are hardy.
$6.50 per pot.
Pickup is in Kuripuni .
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
