Height: 5 in   Spacing: 3 in                                
Type: hardy bulb

Comments: Grape Hyacinth bears purple or white flowers      
resembling upside down grape clusters.  The plants benefit  
from bone meal applied at planting and after blooming.      
They are easy to grow and adapt to any well-drained soil    
in sun to shade.  The flowers last longer in partial        
shade.  The leaves may start growth in the fall.  Plant     
the bulbs 3 inches deep.                                    

Propagation: The bulbs may be divided in the fall and       
replanted immediately.
