Feather Hyacinth

Feathery, plume-like tufts of delicate, violet-purple filaments give this extraordinary heirloom bulb a uniquely whimsical and striking appearance. Unlike traditional grape hyacinths, the flower heads transform in late Spring into soft, cloud-like plumes of vibrant mauve-purple that mature to warm violet-bronze, held above narrow, strap-like green foliage. Commonly known as the feather hyacinth, Muscari comosum Plumosum adds exceptional textural contrast to gravel gardens, sunny borders, and container displays, making a fascinating focal point for cut flower arrangements.
