Grape hyacinths are hardy, easy to grow, and have long-lasting blooms--no garden should be without them. They are particularly spectacular when allowed to naturalize, whether under trees, along a pathway, tucked into ground covers, or in a bed. 'Blue Magic' has a true-blue hue and is great for forcing.
Noteworthy Characteristics:Fragrant. Good early color. Can be forced. Adaptable to various growing conditions, but must have well-drained soil.
Care:Likes fertile, moist but well-drained alkaline soil in full sun. Will take part shade. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep in groups or drifts in fall. Lift and divide when dormant in late summer or early fall.
Propagation:Divide when dormant; remove offsets in summer; sow seed in containers in a cold frame in fall.
Problems:Generally problem free but prone to viruses.
