Muscari Valerie Finnis

The grape hyacinth is the bulb that naturalises with the least fuss and rewards with the most charm. Valerie Finnis produces dense spikes of soft sky blue in February to May, the colour so vivid against spring's emerging green that it reads as almost surreal. Few garden investments deliver such reliable returns. Plant a handful now and in three years you will have forgotten how many you started with — only that the display in February to May is more beautiful than the year before. Hand-selected from Dutch growers, these are muscari bulbs chosen for vigour and colour — the foundation of a spring display that gets better and more beautiful with every passing year.
