Grape Hyacinth 'Mount Hood' (Muscari aucheri): White-Tipped Blue Spikes

Muscari 'Mount Hood' (syn. M. aucheri) is a grape hyacinth cultivar with dense spikes of deep blue, urn-shaped flowers, each distinctively tipped with white, creating a "snow-capped" effect. A Hyacinthaceae family member, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall.

Blooming in mid-spring, it naturalizes well in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade. Excellent for edging, rock gardens, or mass planting. The white tips add a unique contrast to the typical blue grape hyacinth.
