Muscari, the grape hyacinth, is the tiny blue cluster that rises first from the thawing ground and smells of spring before spring arrives. Each stem is a dense candle of small bells, and gathered together they turn into a thick cloud of colour that the hand runs over as over velvet. Pure cornflower blue and clear white: the palette is short, but deep. This section holds muscari on their own, in generous armfuls of 50 and 100 stems: it is the quantity that lets this flower show its texture and its fine spring scent. A guest of early spring: in season the choice is at its fullest, and a manager will tell you what is fresh now.
Who is given a bouquet of muscari
Muscari are chosen for their delicacy and their rarity:
- for the birth of a child, a daughter above all – touching, and full of spring;
- for a young woman, for a mother – a gentle gesture, made quietly;
- for someone who likes the unusual – muscari are not often seen in a bouquet;
- when the scent of spring is what you want – this one is unmistakable.
If you are unsure about the size, write to a manager: we will help you choose and send a photograph before the bouquet leaves.
Muscari in other formats
Muscari are beautiful on their own and beside other spring flowers. Look at the neighbouring mono bouquets: delphiniums for a deeper blue, sweet peas for their scent and lily of the valley for the same fragile spring tenderness. The whole choice of signature mono bouquets is in the mono bouquets section.
To keep muscari longer
Muscari are delicate and need careful handling:
- trim the stems at an angle and put them in cool clean water, not too deep;
- change the water daily, muscari like it fresh;
- keep them cool, away from direct sun, draughts, heating and ripe fruit.
A care note comes with every order.
