Muscari Valerie Finnis Bulbs

Did you know that Muscari, our brave spring darlings with their spikes of color that spread around the garden as they please, come in a few varieties beyond the common purple?

Muscari will gradually spread, or 'naturalize' if they are happy, creating little fairy carpets of petite blooms. The Valerie Finnis Muscari are named after the late Valerie Finnis, a famed British photographer and plant breeder; Valerie was a vivacious trailblazer who brought an artists eye to her work. The light blue color of Valerie Finnis Muscari look excellent mixed with the common purple varieties.

Growing Info

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
