Grape hyacinth "Peppermint" (Muscari armeniacum) will be one of the most splendid ornaments on garden borders or in containers on balconies and terraces. This perennial grows 15 cm tall and develops tufts of grassy leaves. Delicately fragranced, grape-shaped inflorescences appear in April already. Tiny, bell-shaped flowers form densely packed grapes atop the stalks. The light blue colour turns gradually paler and the top of the inflorescences is almost white. Tiny grape hyacinths are a perfect fit for borders and flower beds. They are perfect for edgings and large, single species groupings, too.
Grape hyacinths are rather undemanding and grow well on sunny and partially shady sites. They develop best on fertile, humous and moderately moist soil. Early autumn is the right time for planting "Peppermint" grape hyacinth bulbs in the garden. Place them 8-10 cm deep and a few centimetres apart. This variety shows great resistance to frosts.
