Description

Mid green leaves are longer than flower spike. Flower stems are a red brown. Flowers have open mouths with recurved lobes. Colour ranges from very pale blue to white with some attractive colouring with age.

These have been very easy to grow from seed and appear to be developing new bulbs already.

Muscari pallens may be it’s current name but it has been included in many different genera so has many synonyms.
