Grape Hyacinth White Magic

Tight, conical clusters of pure alabaster-white bells make this striking grape hyacinth a classic for ushering in Spring. Emerging above neat clumps of narrow, mid-green foliage, the fragrant, pearl-like blooms open with a subtle ivory tint before maturing into a brilliant, sparkling white. Exceptionally hardy and reliable, it multiplies effortlessly year after year, creating a dense floral carpet. Perfect for naturalising at the front of sunny borders, edging garden paths, interplanting with spring bulbs, or filling patio containers and window boxes where its delicate perfume can be enjoyed up close.
