Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, plant your 7/8 grade bulbs in the autumn months. Ensure the site has moist, well-drained soil, as Muscari bulbs can struggle if left in waterlogged conditions during the winter.
- Planting Depth: Bury the bulbs roughly 5-8cm deep with the pointed end facing upward.
- Spacing: Space them 5-10cm apart to allow for proper naturalisation and growth.
- Sunlight: They are versatile and will perform well in both full sun and partial shade, though more sun typically results in more vibrant flower colour.
- Post-Bloom Care: Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering; this allows the bulb to store energy for the following season's growth. Avoid mowing the area or removing the leaves until they have turned yellow.
