Description

Muscari aucheri Ocean Magic brings a dreamy, two-toned elegance to the spring garden with flower spikes that blend from frosty white at the top to soft, powdery blue at the base. This subtle gradient effect makes it a standout choice for refined planting combinations, naturalistic drifts, or as a cool counterbalance to hot-toned spring bulbs. In Irish gardens, Ocean Magic performs reliably in well-drained soils in sun or partial shade, and is equally at home in containers, alpine troughs, or planted en masse at the front of mixed borders. Its neat foliage and graceful habit make it ideal for low-maintenance biodiversity gardens, and like all Muscari, it’s bee-friendly, offering valuable nectar and pollen during early spring.

This cultivar pairs beautifully with white-flowered species such as Chionodoxa Alba, Leucojum aestivum, or soft-toned dwarf tulips like ‘Concerto’. The gentle colour palette suits modern and traditional garden styles alike and excels in shaded woodland edges where its pale tones illuminate underplantings. Over time, these bulbs willl naturalise quietly, increasing their presence without becoming invasive. Ocean Magic is especially effective when used to soften hard edges or to echo silver-leafed perennials.
