The light blue color of Valerie Finnis' Muscari look excellent mixed with the common purple varieties.

How to Plant
Dig a hole and tuck your bulb in, pointy side up, about 3" deep. Now give your bulb a good wish, a few solid pats to compress the soil around it, a long drink of water, and wait for Spring.
Where to Plant
Find a place that gets at least partial sun, and space bulbs about 3" apart.
When to Plant
Plant in the Fall, anytime before the ground freezes for the last time.
When to Expect Blooms
Mid Spring, around the same time as Tulips.
Care Instructions
There's really no care involved. Enjoy the blooms? Pick some mini bouquets?
Extra Credit
Wait for the foliage to wilt and turn yellow before clipping it back, so that the bulb can preserve energy for the next year's blooms.
