Muscari armeniacum aka Grape Hyacinth

Muscari armeniacum, also known as Armenian grape hyacinth or garden grape-hyacinth, is a compact, clump-forming, bulbous perennial. Native to the Eastern Mediterranean, from Greece and Turkey to the Caucasus, including Armenia, this plant belongs to the asparagus family Asparagaceae. It features basal, simple leaves and short flowering stems that reach a height of about 15 centimeters. Blooming in mid-spring for 3-4 weeks, the flowers of M. armeniacum can be purple, blue (with a white fringe), white (cv. 'Album'), or pale pink (cv. 'Pink Sunrise'). Some selections of this species are fragrant. The plant is commonly found in woods and meadows. Muscari, the genus to which M. armeniacum belongs, is native to Eurasia and produces clusters of dense, urn-shaped flowers that resemble grapes. Despite being previously categorized in the Liliaceae family, it is now considered part of the Asparagaceae family. Grape hyacinths, as they are commonly known, are small spring-blooming bulbs that add beauty to the garden with their vibrant blooms. With minimal care, these little workhorses can light up the early spring flower garden for years.
