The Van Zyverden Comosum Grape Hyacinths, commonly called tassel Hyacinths, in no way resemble the typical Muscari. These flowers are shaped like unusual tassel-like plumes of rounded, violet-purple flowers. These comosum grape hyacinths are spring flowering bulbs that should be planted in the fall. Each bulb produces a cluster of narrow strap-shaped, basal leaves, usually appearing just before the flowers. The leafless flower stems bear dense spikes of small flowers. These dainty, grape-like clusters of color make a dramatic underplanting for taller bulbs of nearly any color. Planted en masse, in broad informal sweeps, they create an unforgettable show! These beautiful flowers colonize and naturalize readily, are self-seeding under ideal conditions, and thrive for many years to come with little care or maintenance. When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for tiny, perfect vase bouquets.
