Description
The beautiful and unique Muscari 'Julia' is sure to make heads turn with her striking blue and white flowers. The delicately ruffled shape of the petals creates a stunning contrast against the lush green foliage. This eye-catching grape hyacinth variety is sure to add a touch of elegance to any outdoor area. It is often used in flower beds and borders, providing a beautiful accent!
The vibrant blue hues of Muscari 'Julia' will draw attention from all passersby, making it the perfect centerpiece for your outdoor area. This bulbous perennial is very low maintenance, making it ideal for busy gardeners who don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to their plants. It can survive a wide range of temperatures, so it’s perfect for any region. Not only does Muscari 'Julia' look amazing in a garden, they also make a great addition to any bouquet. These long-lasting blooms will stay fresh for days, making them a great choice for special occasions.
One of those wonderfully obliging plants that takes care of itself, over time, Muscari will multiply to form glorious swathes of spring colour. Try dotting it through a border, planting in small pockets across a rockery, underplanting a shrub, or allowing it to naturalise in long grass. If you don’t have the space to let it run free, try growing in a container instead to restrict spread. Cram as many as you can into a pot, making sure there are a couple of centimetres between each bulb.
They don’t come any more zingy and fresh than Muscari 'Julia'. In spring, sky blue and pale green flowers burst into life above grassy foliage, perfectly encapsulating the lush newness of the season. These early-flowering bulbs are an invaluable source of nectar for newly emerged pollinators—meaning as well as getting to enjoy a blast of spring colour, you will also be doing your bit for wildlife!
