muscarimuscari
genusgenusSpring-flowering bulbous plants producing dense clusters of small, urn-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of blue and purple. These charming plants create a carpet-like effect when planted in groups, resembling tiny bunches of grapes nodding in the breeze.
Etymology
The name 'Muscari' comes from the Latin word 'muscus,' meaning musk, referring to the sweet, musky fragrance produced by the flowers.
Interesting fact!
The flower clusters release a sweet, musky fragrance that attracts early-season pollinators while also serving as a natural pest deterrent in gardens.
