Today's star
In autumn the weather gradually turns cold, and winter is about to arrive, so many common plants and flowers are not very suitable for cultivation. The flower introduced today is called grape hyacinth (Muscari). It is rather special, as it needs a lower-temperature environment to sprout. The flowers are very beautiful and it is suitable for planting now.
Grape hyacinth
Grape hyacinth (Muscari), also known as blue bottle flower, is a perennial bulbous flower of the genus Muscari in the Asparagaceae family. Its flower shape is peculiar, like a bunch of small blue grapes, hence the name. It originated in central Europe and was later introduced to North China, China, and is cultivated in Hebei, Jiangsu, Sichuan and other provinces.
Beautiful "little grapes"
There are many varieties of grape hyacinth, with flowers in violet, pale blue, white and other colors. The flower stems emerge from the leaf clusters, densely covered with many small bell-like flowers that combine into a cluster, very beautiful and interesting, the kind that makes people unable to resist at first glance. In recent years it has gradually become popular and has become a veritable internet-famous flower.
It survives when tossed into soil
Grape hyacinth is a bulbous plant. Its underground part has bulbs (commonly called seed bulbs, similar to onions), about the size of a pigeon egg. It is propagated by bulbs and can also be grown from seeds, with a very high survival rate. It only sprouts at low temperatures and cannot survive being grown in summer. The best cultivation season is autumn. Plant it now and it will bloom in early spring next year.
An excellent choice for potted display
Grape hyacinth not only has peculiar and beautiful flowers, but also gives off a pleasant floral fragrance. You can enjoy the flowers and smell the scent at the same time. It is a perennial plant, so one planting allows you to enjoy the flowers year after year. It has a very strong reproductive capacity and can produce many small seedlings each year, so one pot can turn into a whole patch. It is cold-resistant and does not demand much light, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It is worth having.
