Product Description
Muscari Bulbs - Blue Blends by Jamieson Brothers
Working alongside our supplier we have brought you the very best bulbs available for your gardening enjoyment.
One of the best and most commonly used naturalising bulbs for spring is Muscari. Muscari are very easy to grow, they look excellent in rockeries, borders or in flowerbeds, while also being perfect for patio pots and containers if space in the garden is limited. Muscari bulbs can be mixed alongside other spring flowered favourites to make bright beautiful displays.
PLANTING:
Plant August - December
Muscari bulbs thrive in well-draining soil and prefer full sun to partial shade. Select a spot in your garden that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Muscari bulbs prefer moderately fertile soil. Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of around 6-8 inches and remove any weeds or debris. If your soil is heavy or clayey, consider adding organic matter such as compost to improve drainage.
Dig a hole or trench that is about 2-3 times the depth of the bulb. Space the bulbs about 2-3 inches apart, and plant them with the pointed end facing upwards. Gently backfill the hole with soil, firming it around the bulbs to ensure good soil-to-bulb contact.
After planting, water the bulbs thoroughly to settle the soil and initiate root growth. Muscari bulbs require regular moisture during their growing season, so water them whenever the soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can cause rot.
Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or bark chips, around the planted bulbs. Mulching helps to retain soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and provides insulation to the bulbs during extreme temperatures.
Remove any weeds that may emerge around the muscari plants, as they can compete for nutrients and water. Once the flowers have finished blooming and the foliage turns yellow and dies back, you can cut it down to ground level.
Muscari bulbs generally don't require much fertilization. However, you can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as the foliage emerges to provide some extra nutrients for healthy growth.
Over time, muscari bulbs can multiply and form clumps. After a few years, you may choose to divide the clumps in late summer or early autumn, lifting them carefully and separating the bulbs for replanting.
CAUTION: Ornamental bulbs are not edible and can be a skin irritant.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What's the best compost for my flower bulbs?
We would recommend a compost that contains nutrients that last up to 6 months to promote strong, healthy roots, and often includes a wetting agent to improve water retention and drainage for a vibrant spring display.
Here's the perfect one: Click Here
How can I prevent my bulbs from rotting and ensure they bloom again?
Bulbs rot in wet soil! You must have light, well-drained soil. Work compost or organic matter 8-12 inches deep into the planting bed to ensure rapid drainage and aeration.
Plant most bulbs in full sun or part sun for the long-term energy recharge.
What is the most critical step for getting flowers next year after the current blooms fade?
Do not cut the foliage (leaves) after the flower dies. The green leaves need approximately 8 weeks to yellow and brown naturally. This post-bloom period is when the bulb recharges its energy (carbohydrates) for next year’s flower. Cutting them early causes bloom failure!
How deep should I plant my bulbs?
Plant bulbs roughly three times as deep as the bulb’s height (e.g., a 2-inch tall bulb should be planted 6 inches deep). This depth provides crucial thermal protection.
You'll find the exact specifications on the bulbs page/
Do you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
At present, we’re unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to post-Brexit regulations. The additional paperwork and costs involved would make it too expensive for customers.
We hope this situation will change in the near future.
