Muscari 'Botroides Alba'

Bulbs x 12

'Botryoides Alba' Muscari is similar in growth habit to the more common blue Grape Hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum). It produces small clusters of flowers on short, stout stems. What sets it apart is its colour; the flowers are typically white or pale cream, resembling tiny pearls or white grapes. The foliage is typically grass-like and green. These plants are relatively small, with flower spikes that reach heights of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimetres), and are often used in garden borders, rock gardens, and naturalized areas. They also work well in mixed bulb plantings or in containers. When mass-planted, they create a lovely carpet of white or pale blooms.

Bulbs are a form of dormant plant which when planted in the correct conditions produce a full plant over time. Plants which naturally survive as bulbs will usually die down into the ground when their season is finished in order to store their energy to return the following year.

Most bulbs should be planted at a depth 2-3 times their own depth. e.g. a 5cm bulb will be planted at 10-15cm deep.

Plant bulbs with their shoot side facing upwards up. If unsure which side, it's best to plant the bulb "laying down".

Cover with soil and lightly water in. Avoid the ground staying overly wet as it may cause the bulbs to rot.

Feed weekly with a high potassium feed, such as tomato feed, once shoots appear.

Stop feeding when the foliage begins to die back. Allow the foliage to die back naturally as this will support growth in future years.
