PRODUCT DETAILS:

Tulip/Muscari Scatter Planting bulbs are ideal for 'scattering' to create an informal, naturalistic planting area. The Muscari is shorter and will provide depth and contrast. Tulips are a must for every garden because they are sturdy, tall and bright and may bloom for several springs in a row. Generally upward-facing blooms appear on short to tall stems, depending on the variety. Foliage color ranges from green to gray-green to variegated lance-shaped leaves. There are over 15 divisions by which tulips are grouped, each having their own distinct qualities. 

Muscari is available in over 40 species and display massive bursts of color when planted in large groups in borders, rock gardens, under trees or in open areas. Muscari is easily grown in average, well-drained soil with fragrant flowers emerging in early to mid spring. Its flower spikes are said to resemble a bunch of grapes. Narrow, strap-shaped leaves appear in spring just before flowering. Plant in the fall, before the first frost hardens the soil. Dig a hole to the required depth. Place bulb in hole, pointed side up. Cover with soil and water thoroughly. Mulch in extreme climates. For container planting, bury the bulb three times as deep as the bulb is wide. In zones 6 and below, you will need to protect your bulb containers. Place them near the foundation of the house or other structure. In zones 3-5, place the container in an unheated garage or shed. 

After blooming, leave the bulbs in place so plants can clump or reseed. Divide only when containers or planting spaces become too crowded. Propagate in the fall by division after they have been chilled for four weeks in a moist medium. Dig, dry, clean and store in a dry, cool place at 40-50ºF to over winter in non-hardy zones. In warmer climates (USDA hardy zones 8-10) it is advisable to pre-chill the bulbs 6-8 weeks before planting. Place in vented bag(s) at bottom of refrigerator. Do not freeze. Keep bulbs away from ripening fruits. Plant in informal groupings of 5 or more bulbs for best results. Water well during the growing season. Fertilize at planting time and again after blooming. After flowering and when foliage has died, dig and clean bulbs. Store in a dry, well ventilated location. Repeat pre-chilling procedure before planting again.
