Storing Dug Grape Hyacinth Bulbs: Dry, Don't Wash, Plant or Sack

Simple Post-Dig Care for Muscari

Grape hyacinth (Muscari) bulbs are tough. After digging (Nov 16 is fine):

1. Air-dry in shade 1–2 days until soil falls off.
2. Do not wash—moisture causes rot.
3. Store in mesh bag (onion sack) in cool, dark, dry basement.
4. Or replant now in desired spot—they'll naturalize happily.

No special curing needed. Plant 3″ deep, 3″ apart. They'll bloom next spring.
