How to Grow
A meandering river of rich blue Muscari flowers is a magical sight in Spring. Banks of red and gold tulips create the perfect contrast for a truly professional looking display. These hardy bulbs will return year after year, with very little maintenance. The Muscari River Collection is a great value way to ‘get the look’ in your own garden. Perfect for making a statement in the front garden, edging pathways or trickling through rockeries and the front of borders.
- Muscari River Collection contains:
- Muscari americanum - Dainty yet intensely coloured, cobalt blue blooms are produced in grape-like clusters atop elegant stems in mid to late spring. Height: 20cm (8"). Spread: 5cm (2").
- Tulip Red Riding Hood - Cardinal-red, double blooms and distinctive, red striped foliage. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6").
- Tulip Stresa - Enchanting gold and red bicolour blooms, and a short, compact habit. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 15cm (6").
1 large collection - 202 bulbs (170 Muscari americanum, 16 Tulip Red Riding Hood & 16 Tulip Stresa bulbs) (KB1657)
1 small collection - 101 bulbs (85 Muscari americanum, 8 Tulip Red Riding Hood & 8 Tulip Stresa bulbs) (KB1656)
For the best effect, plant bulbs in large groups. Grape hyacinth and Tulip plants prefer a sunny or semi-shaded position in moist, well drained, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. Add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting to improve less than ideal soils. Plant Muscari bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4") and a distance of 5cm (2") apart. Plant Tulips at a depth of 15cm (6") and at a distance of 13cm (5") apart.
More Info Allow the foliage of to die back naturally as this will help to feed the bulbs for the following year. Overcrowded clumps can be lifted and divided in summer while the bulbs are dormant.
