Description

Muscari aucheri Blue Magic is a refined selection of grape hyacinth distinguished by its compact form and clear, sky-blue flowers that appear in early to mid-spring. The blooms are densely packed and sit above a tuft of neat, mid-green foliage, creating a tidy and uniform clump that’s especially suited to the edges of borders, rock gardens, raised beds, and containers. In the Irish garden, Blue Magic is easy to grow and thrives in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. It is hardy, resilient, and will return year after year when planted in autumn, rewarding the gardener with consistent early colour.

Perfect for mixing with white or pale-yellow Narcissus, such as Tête-à-Tête or Minnow, Muscari Blue Magic offers a calm contrast to bolder tulips or richly toned crocuses. It’s also a strong biodiversity plant, providing early spring nectar to bees and beneficial insects, particularly when planted in warm, sheltered microclimates such as south-facing walls or courtyard beds. Plant bulbs in clusters for best effect. Blue Magic stands out in more formal or designer planting schemes, lending itself to repeated planting rhythms or ribbon-like waves within gravel or alpine designs.
