Muscari ‘Mount Hood’

Its almost too cute to be true! Just as Muscariaucheri ‘Mount Hood’ is capped with snow, so the flower spikes of these otherwise typical grape hyacinths exhibit snowy distinction that sets them apart. At the tip of every flower spike, theres a capping of white florets that create a striking contrast with the rest of the blooms. Muscari aucheri ‘Mount Hood’ has won more than its fair share of awards, even taking away honours at Keukenhof where it vies for attention among the best and showiest blooms Hollands horticultural arts can produce.

With this distinguished background, you may think youll have to sacrifice some of the hardiness and durability you usually get from muscari, but thats definitely not the case. Try them this year, theyll be back for more!
