Grape-hyacinth is a delightful spring-blooming bulb that produces dense clusters of deep violet-blue flowers from early to mid spring, making it perfect for borders, rock gardens, and naturalising in lawns. Plant bulbs in autumn in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil, spacing them a few inches apart for an impressive display. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally to replenish the bulb for next year's blooms.
