muscari botryoides

Muscari botryoides (I)

You go out and plant a hundred bulbs of Muscari botryoides - the species grape hyacinth, which smells like plums - under the magnolia tree.

If you want a change from the good old grape hyacinth, Muscari botryoides, try M. b. album, a white form that has been in cultivation for more than 400 years.

Muscari botryoides is a bulbous perennial plant plant of the genus Muscari and one of a number of species and genera known as Grape Hyacinth.
