Grape Hyacinth - Tassel

The Grape Hyacinth \'Tassel\', \'Armeniacum comosum\', is a fall planted bulb. The Tassel grape hyacinth is the strangest looking Grape Hyacinth. Its flower stalk is up to 2 ft. tall with pale brown urn-shaped fertile flowers on the lower half, and blue flowers on the upper half. The cluster of flowers atop the stalk looks like a tassel. The flowers remain beautiful for a long time, and they are very attractive to bees.Grape Hyacinths are a hardy, no-care, mid spring flowering bulb. They are excellent as cut flowers, for rock gardens, beds, borders, and under trees and bushes. Muscari often multiply and spread over the years. Try planting a large drift of Muscari armeniacum in your garden for a flowing effect.
