Description
Muscari botryoides is the only true blue grape hyacinth that still sporadically occurs in the wild in the Netherlands (stinzen plant). Unfortunately, our batch has become too small to sell from. Alternatively we offer the selection 'Superstar', a cultivar registered in 1997 with cornflower blue flowers. Each flower has an ivory white edge.
