Hyacinth in Our Garden on Gabriola Island

In our garden the muscari bloom.  Small patches of deep violet blue.  I love the clusters of flowers, like grapes, hence the common name, grape hyacinth.  Described as an early blooming bulbous perennial with over 40 species of plants in the genus Muscari.  They are easy to grow in well drained soil and will naturalize so be careful only to plant them in an area that you want them.  An added bonus is the fragrance they have.
