A lovely deep blue grape hyacinth, which I have lining one of my veg beds to cheer it up in the early spring
Grape hyacinths are very easy to grow and are brilliant for pots as well as flower beds. They will thrive inside or out in a sunny position but don't mind a bit of shade.
I like the early foliage before the flowers, especially in pots, and the seedpods are good too, giving value wherever you grow them from March until June.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
