Description

Muscari Siberian Tiger offers a striking departure from the typical blues of grape hyacinths with its pure white flower spikes, held upright on dark green stems and framed by tidy, strappy foliage. This crisp and clean cultivar brings clarity and light into spring planting schemes, making it an excellent choice for white gardens, formal borders, or minimalist landscapes. Flowering in March and April, it delivers high visual impact with relatively low input, thriving across most of Ireland in well-drained soil and full sun to light shade.

Siberian Tiger is ideal for containers, raised beds, modern courtyard gardens, and underplanting silver-leaved shrubs or spring-flowering perennials. Its white blooms also glow under low light, making it perfect for entrances or north-facing beds that benefit from brightness. As with other Muscari, this cultivar is beneficial to bees and early insects, and provides a valuable stepping-stone nectar source between snowdrops and later perennials.

Companion planting options include Hyacinth Carnegie, Narcissus Thalia, Leucojum aestivum, and Muscari White Magic. Plant bulbs in clumps or swathes. In pots, mix with silver-leaved herbs or trailing foliage for a clean, elegant look. For landscaping professionals, Siberian Tiger offers a uniform, resilient, and showy bulb with excellent design potential.
