How to Plant Muscari Bulbs

Planting muscari bulbs is fairly simple and does not differ much from planting other bulbs. Because muscari bloom so early, they must also be planted earlier. So be prepared to plant your muscari bulbs as early as September, as this is when they will start to grow. When planting, dig a trench that is about twice as deep as the bulbs are tall. Plant your bulbs at the desired distance to each other and cover them with earth. Always plant flower bulbs with the pointy end facing upwards, as this is where their flowers will grow from. Water you grape hyacinths after planting, but after that just let nature do its job.
